I’m A Celebrity… fans were left shocked after finding out Tulisa’s hidden talent on Monday’s episode.
The singer, 36, and DJ Melvin were tasked with bringing back some treats to the weary camp as part of the Meals On Wheels challenge.
Tulisa and Melvin, determined to win the task, waded into a cold plunge pool filled with rubber ducks and began counting them.
As they both frantically made their way through the horde Melvin joked: ‘Carol Vorderman would be proud of us!’.
But the pair quickly fell apart when it came to the equations part of the challenge, with Melvin admitting maths had never been his strong point.
Melvin’s confession meant that it was all on Tulisa to complete the challenge and she was able to work out the answer.
