For years, Tulisa avoided appearing on "I'm a Celebrity" due to her fear. However, this year she feels more adventurous and is ready to take on the challenges. She hopes that people will discover the real her and not be influenced by the ready-made perceptions they may have of her."My friends who I have told are really excited," she shared.
