X Factor 2011: Tulisa Contostavlos is actually quite posh!
Tulisa may try to play up her bad girl, but her dad has claimed that the N-Dubz is actually quite middle class.
The 22 year old singer has been named as Cheryl Cole’s X Factor replacement for 2011 and her wikipedia page details her difficult childhood saying:
Tulisa had an upbringing living in a typically bad council estate and experienced a lot as a teenager: violence, depression, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, Anorexia Nervosa, mental health issues, financial difficulties and bullying.
However her dad Plato, keyboardist for Mungo Jerry, told The Mail On Sunday that actually, Tulisa was brought up in a very comfortable household. He said:
“I am so proud of Tulisa, but it frustrates me to see her painted as a bad girl because as a child she was spoilt rotten and had everything she wanted.
“I don’t know where this image of her being from the ‘ghetto’ comes from.
