Tulisa has been celibate for three years and needs certain conditions in order to be intimate with a partner.
The singer made the revelation on Tuesday night (November 19) during a chat with her campmates on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!. She admitted she doesn’t date very often and needs to have a strong emotional connection with someone before she will consider getting intimate with them.
When the topic of dating apps came up, Tulisa confessed: “I’ve only done [celebrity dating app] Raya. I’m not really a dater, even though I’ve been on there, I’ve never gone on an actual date with anyone on there… I’m proper guarded.”

The N-Dubz singer went on to reveal she thinks of herself as “demisexual” – needing a strong emotional bond with a partner prior to intimacy. She also admitted she hasn’t had sex in more than three years and needs “depth” for her attraction to grow.
She said: “I feel like I’m demisexual, I need to have a really close emotional bond with someone … I need actual depth. I’m a slow, slow burner, I’ve been celibate for over three years.”
“I’m not an overly sexualised person. For me, it’s all about the connection and the emotions that I feel with someone and then wanting to express them in that way.”
She added that meeting someone new makes her feel “physically sick”, joking: “This is my temple, you cannot enter!”
The 36-year-old N-Dubz star previously opened up about her love life during an appearance on ‘The Zeze Millz Show’, explaining: “I don’t date, I court. I have been celibate for the past two years so no sex before monogamy.”
“So basically you are courting because you like to build friendships before you start dating, you just don’t s*** them and you get to know them.”
Tulisa – who has previously dated her N-Dubz bandmate Fazer, and has been romantically linked to Cher’s music producer nephew David King, as well as actor Jody Latham – also revealed she has been “building” friendships during her search for love.
She added: “I have got friendships that I am building.”
