Tulisa will be a 'diva'

N-Dubz star Tulisa will be a "little diva" on tour, according to Encore.

The urban act are set to hit the road with the 22-year-old singer - real name Tula Contostavlos - and believe she likes to have her own dressing room when she is on the road so she can get away from her bandmates Dappy and Fazer, who is also her boyfriend.

Encore member Pierre Jermaine - who is joined in the group by Cairo Benn and Mark Asari - exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I reckon she's a little diva. I bet she likes to keep herself away from the boys. She's, you know, a sexy girl, really good looking and has to have her own dressing room away from the guys because obviously she's a girl and needs her own personal space."

However, rapper Pierre, 23, has met the trio ahead of their run of shows and insists they don't live up to their hell-raising image, especially Dappy - real name Costadinos Contostavlos.

He said: "From what I know Dappy is a mature guy. Obviously he's a father of two, so he's positive in attitude. I don't really see the negativity which the media like to portray.

"The media is always going, 'Oh N-Dubz are this, N-Dubz are that.' But we've met them and they're cool guys."
