Reason I’m A Celebrity’s Tulisa and Reverend Richard Coles are exempt from height trials is revealed

I’m A Celebrity fans discovered last night that Tulisa and Reverend Richard Coles were exempt from height trials, with the N-Dubz singer accidentally revealing hers was on ‘medical grounds’.

Before the voting opened for tonight’s Bushtucker trial, the show’s longtime hosts Ant and Dec announced Tulisa, 36, and Reverend Coles, 62, would be exempt from the trial with no further explanation.

Fans were left speculating as to why even when the Geordie duo told the camp Dean McCullough, 32, was going to face a trial yet again.

After the Geordie duo announced Dean would be facing the trial yet again and moments before credits, Tulisa could be heard in the background explaining to her campmates, ‘I know it’s heights because that’s what I’m medically exempt from.’

Before entering the jungle, Reverend Richard Coles told MailOnline: ‘I actually froze with fear on a stepladder the other day on the second rung up.

‘Anything up high. So anything which means walking from a horrible rickety tightrope or something, that will be scary.’

It’s likely the former Church of England vicar has been made exempt because of his crippling fear of heights, yet it is unclear whether he has been diagnosed with Acrophobia.

Meanwhile, viewers were quick to point out on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the former X-Factor judge had entered the show by skydiving from a helicopter and asked: ‘How can she be exempt from a heights trial.’

Tulisa has suffered from Bell’s Palsy which is the sudden weakness or paralysis on one side of the face, and it can reportedly be dangerous to climb at heights in case another attack strikes.

One person wrote: ‘She wasn’t in control when she jumped out of a plane, she was attached to somebody.

‘If her face flared up due to her Bell’s Palsy, she had someone to help her.

‘In a trial, if she had a sudden flare-up at a height, it wouldn’t be safe to continue the trial.’

People who have Bell’s Palsy reportedly don’t know what their face is going to do in the next two hours and while symptoms vary from person to person, it appears Tulisa has a severe case of the condition as it once took seven months to go.

She told Olivia Attwood’s podcast, So Wrong It’s Right, ‘When I was about 24, I had my first Bell’s Palsy attack.

‘So I sat at home and I had a massive burst of inflammation and it went down but my whole face dropped – eye, everything.

‘I couldn’t move it, my face remained like that for seven months, I didn’t go out, I just hid in the house.’

‘As I was coming to the end of the seven months, my face is still not right…

‘I would go and get fillers to try and balance out the symmetry.

‘So I’d be right if you put some in that cheek to match the swelling on that cheek, and then if you put some here, lift this up so my lip isn’t down there.

‘You can imagine the vicious cycle.’

But then Tulisa noticed ‘low-level swelling’ that started to happen in the same cheek which ‘started to get worse’ and she would have ‘tingling sensations like ants crawling in my face.’

She revealed: ‘It was scary, and then what happened was because I had this low-level swelling, I then dissolved all the filler and I would match the inflammation by putting filler on the other side.

‘So you have this side swollen and this side is filler to match the swelling.

‘This went up all the way up until this year, so even when I was doing the N-Dubz run, it was at its worst, I constantly felt like my cheek was on fire.

‘I had good days and bad days and I’d also on some days take steroids which would bring it down, so you might see an interview and I look normal and then you see another interview and it’s like ‘What the hell is going on with her face’.’
