N-Dubz Tickets

N-Dubz's Dappy has said that he is proud of Tulisa's new job because it's a marker of their group's success.

The 'Spaceship' star joined Tinchy Stryder to be guest editors of The Daily Star's Playlist and he revealed his pride for his bandmate and cousin.

He said: "We are proud of Tulisa Contostavlos becoming a judge on 'The X Factor'. N-Dubz came from nothing and she is good enough for that big show, which means we are good. N-Dubz have made it, yeah!"

Even though the N-Dubz stars pride themselves on their humble beginnings, Tulisa's father has claimed that her upbringing was very different from the lifestyle she has portrayed in the media.

Tulisa's father, Plato, who was a keyboard player in 70s rock group Mungo Jerry, told The Mail On Sunday: "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."

He also added: "I don't know where this image of her being from the "ghetto" comes from. It's not the Tulisa I know. She is a well brought-up girl who had a comfortable childhood."

What do you think of Tulisa - will she go back to N-Dubz?
