Tulisa: ‘I pretended I was fine’

Tulisa Contostavlos said she never let herself believe she was “finished forever” and “pretended I was fine” to survive the drugs allegations that threatened to destroy her career.

The former N-Dubz singer’s trial for allegedly brokering a cocaine deal collapsed earlier this year after the judge said there were “strong grounds” to believe tabloid journalist Mazher Mahmood lied in the witness box.
