Tulisa Contostavlos has opened up on her biggest fears about going into the ... Get Me Out Of Here! jungle.

Looking stunning Tulisa wore a series of stylish outfits for the shoot including an open denim shirt that showed off her trim figure.

wore her dark hair loose and flowing around her shoulders as she posed in the images, with one outfit commanding attention as she teamed a classic red lip with a red leotard. In another snap she was seen wearing an oversized bright yellow jacket to grace the cover of FAULT magazine.

Speaking in an interview alongside her photoshoot Tulisa admitted that she was never planning to take part in I'm A Celebrity but decided to take the plunge. She said: "I actually was at a point where I was like, ‘I would never, ever do this.’

"But we're all forever evolving and growing and I just got to a point in my life where I was just in my f*** it era. I was like, ‘Does it seem really uncomfortable?’ Yeah. ‘Is it super exciting?’ Yes. ‘Are you gonna have a crazy rollercoaster journey?’ Yes. So do it! All the things surrounding the fear around it, I'm just like, ‘So what! Just let it go. Do it!’"

While for many celebs it's the Bushtucker eating trial that really gets to them, Tulisa confessed she is more afraid of the critters involved. However her biggest concern is overcoming her fear of being in the limelight. She said: "My biggest fear about going on the show is being thrust so far back into the spotlight again. That's the biggest fear that I'm going to overcome. But then at the same time, I've done this all my life.

"Like, why am I letting bad experiences in the past make me feel terrified to be on television or do an interview or get photographed by paparazzi? And that's kind of the place that I've been in for the past few years. And I noticed it on the N-Dubz tour. I could get on stage for N-Dubz, but anything else involving promo interviews, press, or being photographed by paps, I literally felt nauseous."

Tulisa also admitted to finding that showbiz is "contrived" and that even when it comes to something positive she has an "unexplained fear about it," adding that it "just makes me super uncomfortable. Being written about, being photographed."

She added that she knows her fear is "irrational," adding "I am famous and I need to get a grip. I'm fully aware of that. I know the industry I stepped into, so I just need to throw myself balls deep. I'm hoping that when I come out the other side of the jungle, hopefully this fear will be eradicated because I couldn't be in a more public, vulnerable, exposed situation."
