Tulisa Contostavlos has opened up about her real name on Olivia Attwood's podcast So Wrong It's Right, ahead of her appearance on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
Tulisa Contostavlos has left fans gobsmacked after revealing that her name has been mispronounced for years. The N-Dubz singer dropped the bombshell during a chat on Olivia Attwood 's podcast So Wrong It's Right, ahead of her appearance on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.
"My grandmother is also called Tula, so I was named after her," she explained. "Tulisa means 'tiny Tula' in Greek," reports the Express. But that wasn't the only revelation. Tulisa also clarified that the correct pronunciation of her name is Tul-ITZ-ah, not the commonly used Tuh-LEES-a. Laughing, Olivia said: "We just butcher it," to which the N Dubz singer replied: "Yeah... so that ended up being my nickname in Greek, growing up.
At the age of 24, she experienced a severe inflammation that caused her face to drop. "I had a massive burst of inflammation and it went down, but my whole face dropped. I couldn't move it, my face remained like that for seven months. I didn't go out, I just hid in the house," she revealed. She also claimed that fillers helped her to "balance out" her face after the diagnosis.
