The N-Dubz singer was arrested on suspicion of supplying class-A drugs. Tulisa’s charges were later dropped after prosecution witness “fake sheikh” journalist Mazher Mahmood was found guilty of tampering with evidence, during her 2014 trial. Speaking to Oti Mabuse in the jungle, Tulisa said: “2013 was the year I was set up by a British newspaper, for concern in the selling of class A drugs.
” A post shared by Tulisa Contostavlos (@tulisacontostavlos) She explained: “The guy’s name was Mahmood and basically, I was approached by a big movie company and they sent me a tweet or a DM from their official account to audition me for a movie role...
" Tulisa added that she had "dabbled in acting" so the opportunity for the role was a big deal for her. Contostavlos said the role was offering £3.5 million and she was flown out for meetings with producers in Las Vegas with “first-class flights, limousines (and) five-star hotels”.
“I found out it was a lie,” she told former Strictly Come Dancing star Mabuse. “So I was told, as I wasn’t an actress, I was less likely to get the role and the only reason I would get it is if I was the girl in the role, and the girl in the role was this bad girl from London who was constantly up to naughtiness, rolling with gangs, up to all kinds of naughty stuff.” (function (d, s, n) { var js, fjs = d.
