Tulisa Contostavlos Discusses Past Scandals on ITV

Tulisa Contostavlos has opened up about the traumatic 'year from hell' in 2013, during which she was set up in a drug sting by journalist Mazher Mahmood, leading to her arrest for allegedly supplying cocaine. The scandal came at a time when she was transitioning from her successful music career with N-Dubz to acting, having been promised a film role alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, which turned out to be a fabrication. Although the charges against her were dropped in 2014 due to evidence tampering by Mahmood, the experience significantly affected her public image and led to an extended hiatus from the spotlight. Now, as a contestant on 'I'm a Celebrity,' Tulisa reflects on her past while also discussing her current love life, identifying as 'demisexual' and expressing a desire to find the right partner. Her friend suggested there might be chemistry between her and fellow campmate Alan Halsall, sparking speculation among fans. Tulisa's candidness about her past struggles and her journey back into the public eye resonates with audiences as she seeks to redefine herself.
