Tulisa Contostavlos’ best friend has teased an I'm A Celebrity romance could be on the cards.

The N-Dubz singer's pal Michelle McKenna has said that the singer and Alan Halsall could get together. Tulisa and the Corrie star have hit it off in the jungle and were both camp leaders. Michelle says she thinks they could even end up an item. It comes after Tulisa said she has been celibate for three years.

Michelle said: “I would love her to meet someone…. I love Alan but I think they are little besties in there. They would actually make a dead cute couple. We will have to wait and see. And he is a northerner. You never know.”

Asked if Tulisa might like Melvin, Michelle added: “I think Melvin is lovely but I don’t think he is for T. I don’t know if he is her type. Barry’s son, apparently he is cute. I am going to play matchmaker.”

Tulisa spoke at length about her love life on the show. She said last week: “No I’ve only done 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.” She added that she felt “demi-sexual”, adding: “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.”

After Dean quizzed her on what it’s like being celibate, she added: “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.” Explaining the thought of sleeping with someone or going out and meeting someone “genuinely makes me feel physically sick” she joked: “This is my temple, you cannot enter!”

'Demisexual' is a sexual orientation where attraction is based on an emotional connection over the primary physical butterflies you get when you first meet someone. Michelle previously teased a romance between Tulisa and Alan while on Lorraine. She said: "I think she would like to meet someone. It's been a long time. But it's meeting the right one isn't it. She's going with the flow."

Lorraine teased: "Obviously she's getting on very well with Alan. They're both single and there is of course this N-Dobbs thing with their name. So you never know, is what I'm saying." Michelle didn't say Alan wasn't Tulisa's type and simply answered: "You never know. We'll just have to watch."

Fans have also shared their thoughts on the protentional romance as one wrote: "Tulisa and Alan would make a great couple!" Another said: "Tulisa 7 Alan, a new couple? (stranger things have happened) #ImACeleb." A third observed: "Tulisa and Alan looking like a couple rocking up to watch their child play football on a Saturday morning #ImACeleb." While a fourth added: "Guys I'm rooting for the Tulisa & Alan love story #ImACeleb."
