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.”
