Former X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos to be charged with supplying Class A drugs

Contostavlos was initially arrested in connection with the incident on June 4, along with 35-year-old musician Mike GLC.
The rapper, real name Michael Coombs, 35, has been charged with supply of class A drugs and is due to appear alongside Contostavlos at Westminster Magistrates' Court on December 19.
Contostavlos was dropped as a judge on X Factor days before her arrest, with Sharon Osbourne returning to the ITV talent show in her place.
Tulisa Contostavlos will be charged with helping to supply Class A drugs to an undercover journalist, it was announced today.
The charges result from a newspaper sting operation earlier this year, during which the singer and former X Factor judge allegedly helped the reporter buy cocaine.
Contostavlos, who first found fame as a member of hip-hop group N-Dubz, will appear in court in London next Thursday.
Contostavlos's lawyer today said the singer will plead not guilty to the charge and claimed she joined a line of celebrities who had been used as 'fodder by greedy newspapers'.
Ben Rose, of firm Hickman and Rose, said: 'As has been widely reported this entire case has been manufactured by the Sun on Sunday and Mahzer Mahmood, sometimes known as the fake sheikh.
'They spent a large amount of their readers’ money in flying Tulisa and a number of her friends first class to Las Vegas. There Mahmood posed as a film producer offering her a £3million film contract.
'This case is not simply about drug supply. It is about the limits which we set on the conduct of journalists. The media have rightly been criticised in recent years for gross invasion into the private life of others.
'Tulisa is the latest in a long line of people who have been treated as fodder by greedy newspapers.
'This was a deliberate attempt to target a young woman who is all the more vulnerable because of her celebrity status.
'The law clearly forbids such conduct on the part of police. It is ironic that the police should rely on it when it is the work of a journalist.
