N-Dubz Dappy puts the boot into Tulisa's X Factor winners

While N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos was celebrating her group’s win on the X Factor final, her bandmate Dappy was merrily sticking the boot in to the TV talent show.

The controversial rapper was at his Academy 2 gig in Manchester on Sunday night, just after Little Mix were crowned the victors on the ITV1 show, leaving Tulisa in tears of joy in her first year as a talent show judge.

Tulisa used to walk around with a baseball bat

As Tulisa likes to remind us A LOT, she’s well’ard innit. She maybe all glam and an X Factor judge now, but there was a time when she used to walk the mean NW streets with a baseball bat on her to protect her from the bullies.

Jesus Tulisa, not even Orphan Annie needed one of those.

Speaking to the Radio Times the N-Dubz singer revealed: “I had to walk down the road with a baseball bat in my pocket. I didn’t end up having to use the bat, but I did have to punch people back.”

D’ya hear that Kelly Rowland yeah? Just watch what you say about Little Mix’s melodies.

Tulisa also admitted that her difficult teen years make her feel a little out of place in her more glamorous surroundings now.

“I’ll think, ‘I don’t belong here.’ I get those moments now and again. I can be very feisty, but that’s a defence mechanism for me. I’m defensive because too many years of my life I was treated like s**t.”
