Singer and N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos left her fellow I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! campmates were stunned when she revealed the true meaning behind her band’s name.
Tulisa, who joined N-Dubz at just 11 years old alongside bandmates Dappy and Fazer, shared the origin story of the name that has puzzled fans for years. The group, known for hits like Strong Enough and I Need You, derived their name from their North West London roots.
‘N-Dubz Stands for North West London’
During a conversation with Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse, Tulisa explained:
“N-Dubz stands for North West London, where we’re all from.”
The revelation left Oti, who is also from North West London, jokingly claiming membership in the group:
“Hold on—I’m from North West London too! Does that mean I’m an honorary N-Dubz member?”
The moment sparked a frenzy on social media, with one viewer posting on X (formerly Twitter):
“N-Dubz meaning NW was brand new information to me! Every day really is a school day.”
Coleen Rooney Opens Up About Wagatha Christie Case
In another heartfelt campfire discussion, Coleen Rooney shared insights into the infamous Wagatha Christie case that gripped the nation. Reflecting on the court battle with Rebekah Vardy over leaked stories, Rooney admitted:
“I didn’t think it [the social media post] would get as much attention as it did… I felt ashamed going to court, like we were putting on a show for the world. It became a joke, and it was disappointing—it wasn’t a joke to me.”
Her honesty resonated with campmate GK Barry, who said:
“Coleen spoke about Wagatha. It was so interesting to hear it firsthand.”
When discussing ownership of the term ‘Wagatha Christie,’ Rooney confirmed:
“She owns it.”
Viewers React and Tune In
Fans of the show were quick to react online to the night’s drama and revelations. One viewer summed it up:
“Between Tulisa’s N-Dubz explanation and Coleen spilling Wagatha tea, I’m hooked on this season!”
