As a longtime fan of N-Dubz and someone who has followed Tulisa’s journey since her days on The X Factor, I can’t help but feel inspired by her resilience and determination. Growing up in North West London myself, hearing that the iconic group’s name comes from the same postcode as mine feels like a small connection between us. It’s incredible to think about how Tulisa almost gave up on N-Dubz before they found fame, but she hung on and made it big!


On last night’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!, Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly subtly acknowledged Tulisa’s famous “girl boss” tattoo.

In the year 2011, Tulisa used to display her “Female Boss” tattoo on her forearm during the initial moments of The X Factor, as a symbol of pride.

During the initial Bushranger Challenge, the Geordie pair recalled the famous tattoo symbol and encouraged GK Barry, who was shrieking amidst a swarm of creatures.

In a span of only 10 minutes, GK needed to navigate through the intricate network of a volcanic cave system, with the objective of uncovering concealed celestial bodies that were tucked away within.

Absolutely, the TikTok celebrity had many wild animals accompanying her, yet when it came time for the challenge, Ant and Dec were present to provide numerous words of encouragement like, “Experiences that don’t break you, only make you more resilient.

In the presence of many creatures that crawled, slithered, or scurried – including snakes, spiders, and rats – GK navigated her journey with lots of shrieks and strong language. As a result, Ant and Dec commented: “We’ll have to censor a lot of this!

GK replied questioning, ‘What would Tulisa do?’ if she was in her situation covered in critters. 

Prompting Ant to hold his forearm in her iconic pose and reply, ‘she would by like a female boss’.

Completing the Bushtucker Trial, GK managed to collect an impressive 9 out of 10 stars for camp. 

In the initial episode on Sunday night, Tulisa once more flaunted her memorable ‘Female Boss’ ink on her arm just moments after it began.

In the opening credits at the start of the show, glamorous Tulisa proudly stuck her arm up. 

In 2011, Tulisa’s tattoo made headlines as allegations surfaced that she had improperly advertised her namesake perfume during an episode of X Factor. This occurred when she intentionally showed off her forearm during the beginning of the show.

At the given moment, she explained the significance of her tattoo to The Mirror: “I had been flaunting my tattoo even before appearing on The X Factor. It has always served as my unique identifier, and it has always been my alias.

‘The perfume isn’t officially named “The Female Boss”; instead, it goes by TFB. Thus, a person wouldn’t walk into a store and purchase the fragrance based solely on recognizing my tattoo design.’

During Monday’s broadcast, Tulisa astonished viewers when she disclosed the actual significance behind the band name N-Dubz.

She quickly became well-known when she joined forces with her cousin Dappy and his close friend Fazer in an R&B band.

At age 11, Tulisa became a part of the group. Later, at age 17, she shared that there was a time when she felt like quitting the band before they achieved fame.

Sat around the campfire, Tulisa opened up to her campmates as they settled into jungle life.

When Oti enquired from Tulisa about the true meaning behind the name N-Dubz, the X Factor personality clarified that it stemmed from the postal code representing North West London.

Oti quipped: ‘I’m N-Dubz!’

Tulisa shared that initially, Dappy harbored aspirations of becoming a solo artist. However, it was his father, Uncle B, who suggested they form a group instead.

She said: ‘My uncle offered me 20 quid and then I bartered him up to 50.’

In response to Alan Halsall’s praise for my persistence within the group, I confessed, “At the time we achieved success, I was teetering on the edge of the ‘I-can’t-go-on’ phase.

She added: ‘It just goes to show in all situations, hang on in there guys.’

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! continues Monday at 9pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX
