Tulisa Contostavlos can’t bear to watch Love Island due to her misophonia.
The N-Dubz star isn’t able to tune into the ITV2 dating show, which is hosted by Maya Jama, because it makes her ‘feel physically sick’ due to the rare disorder, which is described as ‘a decreased tolerance to certain sounds’ and is also known as ‘sound rage’.
‘I have something called misophonia, it’s a real thing and I didn’t realise what it was,’ the 35-year-old singer told the Daily Star.
‘When people eat with their mouth open or when I’m watching TV and I see people kiss, the noise makes me feel physically sick.’
Tulisa used to watch Love Island with her pal but admitted it was like ‘torturing’ herself so she had to stop tuning in.
She said: ‘I love Love Island but how many kisses go on in that show? I sit there with my mate and he’s like, “Why are you torturing yourself?” ‘

The NHS describes misophonia as ‘some sounds making you angry’.
Tulisa is not the only celebrity to suffer with the noise sensitivity, as Kelly Osbourne previously revealed that she has a form of the misphonia which means she hates certain sounds made by men when they eat.
Kelly admitted she was worried that the problem would prevent her from getting married because she especially dislikes the sounds men emit when they are eating.
Appearing as a guest panellist on UK TV show Loose Women in 2018, she shared: ‘I have misophonia, it’s a phobia of mouth noises. I can’t handle it!’

Discussing how men with big mouths anger her the most when they’re munching on meals, she added: ‘I’ve walked up to people I don’t know and ripped the gum out of their mouth. It makes my knees buckle and makes me sweat. Don’t ask, it’s another tick on my box of insanities!
‘I can’t handle it, it drives me nuts. I never want to get married, the way men chew annoys me, so much about them annoys me!’
