Tulisa: The media sting seemed very legit

Tulisa Contostavlos has explained to Newsbeat how a media sting which resulted in her going on trial accused of drug dealing claims seemed "very legit".

Speaking for the first time since the collapse of the case the former N-Dubz singer gave details of how she was told she was being offered a movie role by a woman pretending to be from 21st Century Fox.

The 26-year-old, said there were "amazing hotel suites" and limos picking her up.

She also said "a fake Twitter account of 21st Century Fox" fooled her into thinking she was genuinely being offered a part in a film.

Tulisa was speaking to Newsbeat's entertainment reporter Nesta McGregor.
