Rylan Clark says its 'time to know' Tulisa's truth 13 years after meeting on X Factor
Former X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos has received the support of ex-contestant Rylan Clark as she opened up on her challenging time in the spotlight. The N-Dubz singer revealed she attempted suicide after being deceived in a sting operation by 'Fake Sheikh' Mazher Mahmood.
She was charged with supplying class A drugs but the case was eventually dismissed as it emerged that Mahmood had lied to the court. Tulisa has also revealed she found herself in a "toxic" relationship during the time of the trial, which she shares in her new book, Judgement: Love, Trials, and Tribulations.
The star revealed her "year from hell" and led her to attempt to take her own life not once, but twice. It comes after Darius Danesh's ex-wife speaks out after pop star died after refusing operation.
Her emotional new book, Judgement: Love, Trials, and Tribulations, opens with Tulisa sitting drunk on the floor of her bathroom after finding out that she's going to be charged with being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs at 11pm on a Friday.
Since its release this week, Tulisa has been supported by fellow X Factor star and friend Rylan. He shared a sweet snap of him sat on a striped sofa with his arm around Tulisa as he heaped on the praise for her candid book.
The TV and radio star gushed: "Never been prouder @tulisacontostavlos. From 2012 to now we've been through a lot and I'm so proud we stayed by each others side.
"Now it's time for everyone to know your truth. We've never publicised it, we've just been there for eachother. I'm so happy your words will now be heard by everyone. Tulisa's book Judgement is out now x #Day1 x."
Tulisa responded as she told Rylan: "Love you will all my heart you beautiful earth angel." He was there to celebrate with Tulisa at a Q and A session for her memoir as he interviewed the singer.
The I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star threw the support back to Rylan following the event as she said: "@Rylan when the whole industry turn their back on me you screamed my truth when I couldn't speak from the roof tops.
"Love you forever. Thanks for being you and supporting me during the hardest time of my life." Tulisa appeared on This Morning on Thursday, where she harrowingly detailed the extent of her pain.
She revealed that she attempted suicide twice after the ordeal. "The first attempt was quite light in a sense...I was very drunk and I wasn't sure, just go for it, I've had enough," she said.
"It was the second time that after the trial had finished then I had time to really process everything that happened was the real kicker. Surviving that was a miracle," she said.
When asked how she is now, she said: "I don't think I'll ever trust in the same way again but I am someone who has a logical head on their shoulders. I hope for the best in people I'm not a negative person, I'm not looking for negative things in someone.
"I've been very blessed through his experience to have a very strong team of loving individuals who really became my soul family and remain that to this day. If anything, I gained love through this process. Big shout out to my family at home who have been absolute rocks for me."

Covermounts: How a simple marketing tool led to the soundtracks of our lives
This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement. Whatever happened to those CDs we used to get on the front of magazines, and why did the marketing tool die out? Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... They were the means by which many music fans discovered what would become their favourite acts. The covermount, the CD on the front of magazines, saw a golden age in the '90s, yet digital technology once again affected a physical format. Benjamin Jackson looks back the the history of the marketing tool, and offers his 'holy bible' CD he's kept for nearly 30 years. It was the foremost way before digital technology that we ended up discovering our favourite new acts without sitting through commercial breaks on the radio and television. And for those of us who used to grab old cassette tapes and cover the holes at the top, it was one of the ways we could have our favourite songs without the start or end being interjected by a radio host. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Yeah, home taping was killing music, but having a DJ ask you to 'sing along' live on air before the drop to 'Bohemian Rhapsody' was a worse crime in our minds. The irony being you're piecing together a Queen album to replace the one you copied over with Bone Thugs -n-Harmony and Skee-Lo. That probably is just me on that occasion. Sorry, mum – didn't want you to find out this way. But I digress; covermounts are those CDs that you would find on the front of, well, every magazine in the '90s and early '00s, be it the best that the metal world had to offer or retrospectives on 'Cool Britannia' and the artists that influenced a newer generation of artists. They, ultimately, were a promotion tool, though in hindsight, at the time, some of us felt it was altruistic in our young age that record labels would give us music, for free, without commercial interruptions. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad They were a means to discover new music before file sharing came around; so what happened to the covermount CD and how popular was the format at its peak? | Canva/Discogs But it worked – those acts that graced the covers of the CDs on the covers of magazines did end up getting a lot more attention than, say, those within the back pages of the NME and the like. Some of us still own those very CDs that became a formative experience in a world of musical discovery, something cranks like me complain doesn't feel like that experience really exists anymore. Excuse me while I shake my fist at the sky. Now I'm in my 40s. So, how did the covermount first come to fruition? Why did it die out, and Benjii – what is the CD sampler that you still own from way back in 1998 that you considered your 'holy bible' when it came to the metal scene? Join me as we wade through the excessive amount of plastic and revisit the halcyon days of the covermount. That is, unless you had it taken from the front of the publication before even purchasing said item… Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad C86 and the dawn of covermount stars Though the boom of the covermount occurred much later, its roots can be traced back to the late '70s and early '80s, but at that stage, they weren't used for music. Instead, during the dawn of the home computer, magazines such as Your Sinclair or Amstrad Action would regularly provide covermounts that were vital for hobbyists and programmers. Though they were not compact discs, they were instead in the form of cassette tapes (remember loading those up on the Commodore 64?) and then later floppy disks. Unlike record labels, which often gave away samplers, publishers would offer full versions of games, applications, and utilities. Considering that learning programming like BASIC was often a tedious, trial-and-error approach, these covermounts served as a kind of guaranteed 'day-one' working version, a far cry from the patches and updates gamers expect today. The success of the early computer covermounts didn't go unnoticed, as the music press saw the potential in using a similar model to promote new and often obscure artists directly to their readers. The first iconic example of this was the C86 cassette, released by the British music magazine NME in 1986 - hence the 'punny' name. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad What started as a simple compilation of independent British bands became an accidental landmark; featuring 22 tracks including the likes of Primal Scream and The Wedding Present, it was meant to be a snapshot of the emerging underground guitar pop scene. Instead, it was a massive success, and the collection of jangly guitars, melodic hooks, and a distinctly DIY aesthetic became a defining moment for a new sound. It inadvertently gave a name to an entire subgenre: 'C86 indie pop'. However, unlike those found on the front of magazines in the future, readers instead had to order the cassette by mail, sending in a coupon and a small fee. But the idea was a hit, and it proved that a magazine could not just write about a musical movement, but actively create and define it by putting the music directly into the hands of the fans. The Golden Age of the Covermount The success of C86 proved that the covermount was a powerful tool, but it was the arrival of the compact disc that truly ushered in its golden age. In the late '90s and early 2000s, the CD was the dominant music format, and magazines seized the opportunity, plastering them onto the front of nearly every publication imaginable. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Magazines like NME, Q, and Mojo were the pioneers, turning the free CD into an art form. These weren't just collections of random tracks; they were often meticulously curated compilations that served as a musical education. They could be a tribute to an iconic artist, a "best of the year" roundup, or an introduction to a new wave of bands, giving readers a tangible snapshot of a moment in music history. For a generation of fans, a covermount CD from a trusted magazine was the fastest and most efficient way to discover a new favourite band or genre. This was a win-win for everyone involved. For publishers, a covermount could instantly boost sales—a Sunday newspaper once sold an extra half a million copies with a single Beach Boys compilation. For record labels, it was a low-cost, high-impact way to promote new acts and sell albums. And for us, the readers, it was a gateway to new musical worlds, a physical object that became a cherished part of our collections and, ultimately, the soundtrack to our lives. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad But the concept was not without its detractors; one of the biggest concerns was, as we all became environmentally conscious, the sheer volume of single-use plastic was seen as a wasteful burden, with the production of the CDs and their non-recyclable elements becoming difficult for consumers - and therefore publishers - to ignore. Some arguments giving away music merely 'devalued' it, and by bundling the hottest hits to come our way, music became 'throwaway' rather than the piece of art people paid for. This sentiment grew especially fierce as artists were hit by a double blow; while covermounts offered little in the way of royalties, the dawn of digital piracy in the late '00s was seen by some as an even greater threat than the practice of giving away music had only helped enable. In an age where people craved something new and shiny, covermounts just weren't cutting it anymore. The thrill of having a new album on a disc was quickly replaced by the even greater excitement of album leaks, which became more and more prominent. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad These weren't just new; they were incredibly "shiny"—unpolished files not yet fit for human consumption, a form of contraband that felt more valuable than the perfectly curated CD. The digital age and the decline of the Covermount The final nails in the covermount's coffin were logistical and technological. The production and distribution of millions of CDs became an increasingly expensive and cumbersome burden for publishers. As the convenience of digital downloads and eventually streaming services like Spotify took over, the sheer volume of single-use plastic became an unsustainable and wasteful burden that was difficult for both publishers and consumers to ignore. Magazines that would regularly feature covermounts, such as NME or Q Magazine, eventually stopped giving them away in the early 2010s. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Publishers, seeing that CDs had become a simple expense no longer tenable in a digital landscape, decided to shift their focus more toward digital platforms than print. After all, where would you mount a CD on a newsletter in your inbox? Answers on a postcard, please. While the golden age of the covermount is now a distant memory for most, it never truly died. For some, like those who still buy Classic Rock magazine, the practice lives on as a nostalgic nod to a bygone era, and there are still publications out there that offer covermounts, be it to celebrate a musical occasion or as part of a special edition of a publication. But for everyone else, it remains a memory of a time when the music you loved was delivered to your door or from a corner shop once a month, a physical object that served as a gateway to the soundtracks of our lives. What was on that covermount CD that made you keep it, Benjii? Thanks for making it all this way, and glad that you asked – though I'd have mentioned it anyway. Chekhov's covermount, am I right? Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The CD in question, though, would be Kerrang! 1998, from issue #728, which featured System of a Down, Limp Bizkit, Korn, and Garbage... pretty much, all the bands I still listen to and love today. Check out the Deezer playlist above to get a feel for just how important that covermount was for me and other like-minded metalheads of the time Did you have a favourite sampler CD or covermount that influenced the music that you would end up still listening to years later?

David Haye to face awkward 'grilling' as I'm A Celeb bosses line him up for All Stars spin off
ITV bosses have reportedly offered boxing champ David Haye a spot on the next season of I'm A Celeb's All Stars spin off - with one major topic expected to be discussed around the campfire I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! is planning to add boxing champ David Haye to their knockout line-up of the next All Stars spin-off season. The former heavyweight champ, 44, first appeared on the long-running ITV reality show's twelfth season back in 2012. And he may be returning to the jungle as one of the All Star contestants for the spin-off series that sees past participants return for another round of stomach churning trials. The first season of the All Stars version, titled I'm a Celebrity... South Africa, aired in 2023 with Myleene Klass being crowned winner. And now a string of popular former contestants are being lined up for a second trip to the outback - with David among the top names wanted to take part in the series. He came third when he participated in the series the last time behind winner Charlie Brooks, of EastEnders fame, and Pussycat Dolls runner-up Ashley Roberts. Since then, David's foray into the world of media stardom has seen him appear in shows including The Big Narstie Show and his own David Haye versus series, which saw him interview and train with major celebrities. A source told The Sun: 'David was delighted to get the call from ITV. As viewers know, no chats are off-limits around the campfire, so they can expect to see David grilled over his quirky relationships.' The Mirror has contacted representatives of David and ITV for comment. It is expected that the new season of the ITV show will begin filming in the autumn months when a string of other former contestants will return to the wilderness to survive on basic rations. Football icon Harry Redknapp, 78, who won in 2018, and Gemma Collins, 44, who quit the show after three days in 2014, are among names linked to the new season. A number of familiar faces are expected to jet to Australia in November to film the next season of the main I'm A Celeb series. It will be the 25th outing of the show - which first aired way back in 2002. Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will travel Down Under to preside over all the terrifying trials and encourage the celebs to eat revolting meals and drinks. The 2024 season of the show was won by McFly singer Danny Jones. But the 39-year-old singer has had a difficult few months since he was crowned the king of the jungle. He was shamed in March when video footage emerged of him locking lips with fellow I'm A Celeb 2024 contestant Maura Higgins, of Love Island fame. The footage sparked shock among his fans - who have championed his marriage to beauty contestant Georgia Horsley - a former Miss England winner. The couple have been an item since 2009 and they have been married since 2014. They also welcomed a son named Cooper who was born in 2018. Danny offered a groveling apology to his wife which he issued via social media soon after his extramarital kiss went viral. In a statement, the McFly singer said: "Hello everyone, sorry it's taken me a while to post this but I've taken some time out to be with those closest to me. I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation. I love them so much and we'll continue to deal with this privately. "I love you guys, thank you for your patience, understanding, and support. See you all soon, Danny." Meanwhile, a source close to Danny revealed at the time that he was "mortified" by what happened as well as the "awful situation he has put everyone in".

FC Chernobyl, 2019 25 Chernobyl is one of the greatest TV dramas of the century Credit: HBO SOME objected to the sting in the tail at the end of this mini-series' breathtaking finale, when it was revealed that character Ulana Khomyuk didn't exist and was a box-ticking amalgamation of the scientists who campaigned for the truth about the disaster. But I thought Chernobyl more than earned the right-on indulgence. One of the greatest TV dramas of the century. AR Downton Abbey 2010-2015 25 Julian Fellowes breathed new life into the period drama with Downton Abbey Credit: Handout WRITER Julian Fellowes breathed new life into the period drama with this iconic show.

A must-see for any British drama fan. SC Love Island 2015- 25 Love Island is the big daddy of dating shows IN 2015, ITV planted a group of fun and frisky Brits into a Majorcan villa with one aim – finding love. And so a whole new genre of TV was firmly established. Love Island, now hosted by Maya Jama, is the big daddy of dating shows, which has spawned copycats but remains on top today, with more record figures this summer. Ten years on, watching hot people bicker, bitch and, yes, bonk, remains just as thrilling. FC Britain's Got Talent 2007- 25 BGT could well bring the spirit of British entertainment to life for years to come Credit: ITV SHOWBUSINESS at its finest – and funniest.

Its simple premise – to 'outrun' a professional quizzer and reach a prize pot – is fun to play along with at home. But those 'Chasers' are the real draw, with their distinct characters and jaw-dropping knowledge. That's why The Chase is our top quiz of the century among a thriving pack. FC The Traitors 2022- 25 The Traitors is thrilling and dastardly gameplay combined with human hope, joy and savagery Credit: PA JUST when we despaired there would never be any new ideas on television, along came Claudia Winkleman and The Traitors. Thrilling and dastardly gameplay combined with human hope, joy and savagery, made the BBC show irresistible viewing and united friends and family to watch TV 'live'. Another format that's been copied, but The Traitors is still best in class.
