Inside Tulisa's incredible body transformation as she shows off ripped abs during intense workouts ahead of I'm A Celebrity stint

Tulisa Contostavlos has made sure she is in incredible shape ahead of I'm A Celebrity ...Get Me Out Of Here! as she shared her grueling workout routine on Instagram.

The N-Dubz star, 36, showcased her toned abs in a black sports bra and leggings as she showed off her body transformation while working out.

Tulisa was seen throwing herself into intense weight training and boxing after undergoing a double hernia operation in July.

She rocked a waist trainer as she lifted weights on the leg press machine and performed lunges, leg extensions and chest presses.

Tulisa penned: 'Really enjoying my boxing & fitness training at Double the the training right now. I feel like I'm getting a little better each day. This is officially not a faze! I'm sticking with it this time for sure.'

She has reportedly been practicing yoga 21 times a day while using the Tibetan Rites programme, an ancient form of yoga which requires multiple sessions to be completed each day.

The X Factor star has also completed a course of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) jabs which claim to boost your energy levels.

A source told The Sun : 'Tulisa was determined to look and feel her best before going into the jungle.

'She's been doing Tibetan Rites at home and also sessions with a personal trainer in the gym including boxing.

'Tulisa has also had her lip liner tattooed on as she knows she will be going makeup free for a good few weeks .'

As Tulisa was confirmed for the 2024 series of I'm A Celebrity she stood out from the star-studded group as she showed off her chiselled abs in a blue crop top for her first official snap .

Despite being in incredible shape, Tulisa has insisted she won't be attempting to recreate Myleene Klass' iconic jungle shower moment during her time in camp.

Myleene famously set pulses racing on the show in 2006 by showing off her svelte figure in a skimpy white two-piece in the shower.

But Tulisa declared she wanted the 'polar opposite', saying: 'I am wearing black. I am going to pack three plain bikinis, as I don't want to draw attention to myself.

'I am not going to step out in white. It will be the polar opposite and if someone can hold up a towel then I will (ask them!).'

The former X Factor judge went on to admit that she reckons the first few days in camp will be the hardest for her, as she has been avoiding the spotlight out of 'irrational fear'.

She confessed: 'I'm a big softie and I'm an emotional person. I will probably struggle in the first few days as doing something like this is a big deal for me.

'I haven't been thrust this much into the spotlight in a while and I have avoided it out of irrational fear. I will probably be the most emotional when I first go in. It will take me a while to settle in, but I know I will get past that.'

But Tulisa explained that despite her fear, she has decided to enter the jungle in the hopes of changing public perceptions of her.

She said she hoped the show would allow people to finally find out more about the real her and finally felt ready to push herself beyond her 'comfort zone'.

She explained: 'I am not the person people perceive me to be and this will be the chance for everyone to get to know the real me.

'I am like Frodo Baggins on an unexpected journey. I feel really adventurous this year and the place I am now in, I want to do things that take me out of my comfort zone.

'I have always said I wouldn't do this show in the past, as there are things that have terrified me. But the person I am now, I want to throw caution to the wind.'

Tulisa rose to fame in the mid-2000s with London hip-hop group, N-Dubz, achieving huge success with two platinum-certified albums and eight top 40 tracks, including hits No Regrets, Say It's Over, Number 1 and Playing With Fire.

She eventually parted ways with them in 2011, going on to land the coveted role of X-Factor judge at the age of 22 and remains the youngest judge in the show's history.

She was hired by Simon Cowell to replace Cheryl Cole and guided Little Mix to victory, who have gone on to become one of the most successful girl groups in history.

However, her X-Factor success was tainted by scandal as a sex tape featuring the star emerged online, leaked by her ex-boyfriend which she has since said made her feel like her 'world was ending'.

After quitting the X-Factor in 2013, Tulisa was caught up in a drugs scandal when she was arrested on suspicion of supplying class-A drugs .

But it was, in fact, part of a sting operation by the News of the World's notorious undercover reporter, Mazher Mahmood, otherwise known as the Fake Sheik.

The case went to court, but Mahmood was accused of tampering with evidence and the case against Tulisa collapsed, while he was later tried on related charges and sentenced to 15 months in prison.

During her BBC3 documentary filmed during her trial, Tulisa revealed she had been left with thoughts of taking her own life and 'necked pain killers with vodka'.

A year later, she was convicted of assault and ordered to pay a £3,000 fine after attacking blogger and TOWIE star, Vas J Morgan, in a row at V-Festival in Essex in 2013.

And in 2016 she pled guilty to drink driving and handed a 15-month ban after crashing her £150,000 Ferrari in north London.
