Former X-Factor star Rylan Clark has issued an urgent plea to I'm A Celebrity viewers over hurtful comments made about N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos.

Tulisa joined the 2024 series of the popular reality show alongside people like GK Barry, Coleen Rooney, Jane Moore and McFly singer Danny Jones.

However, while most have been overjoyed to have her back on their screens after so many years, many have made nasty comments about her appearance.

After seeing much of this, Rylan decided to step in to defend the 36-year-old, telling critics on social media to think before they hit send.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, the celebrity said: "Also before people start going for appearance, Tulisa has been through a lot health wise the last few years so let’s not make s*** jokes about her on twitter yeah x."

This isn't the first time Rylan has made it clear he has Tulisa's back during this year's series of I'm A Celebrity.

After hearing that she had been selected for the 2024 line-up, The N-Dubz singer posted: "The news is out! I'm off to the jungle. Wish me luck @itvxofficial @imacelebrity #ImACeleb."

Rylan reposted the announcement before wishing Tulisa "Good luck xxx."

Before entering the jungle, the N-Dubz singer said: "If me being my authentic self connects with people in a mass way, then it must mean I'm doing something right in life.

"But I am not going to go looking for it. This isn't a career move for me either. I will always go back to N-Dubz and this is a one-off experience."
