“She’s rough around the edges but she’s a good girl. I like her. I definitely would have her at judge’s houses. She’ll bounce back.

“She’s a tough lady and she’s made it this far on her own. My advice would be to make a great record and show of that gorgeous face of hers. Solo or group? She can do both.”

Tulisa insists Mazher Mahmood set her up, and that he tried to trick her into brokering a drug deal as part of an ‘investigation’ by The Sun on Sunday – the result of which led to the court case.
