Singer and X Factor judge Tulisa opens up about her childhood in her new book and is here to tell us about it.

She's one of the most successful singers in the UK today, with three platinum albums, four MOBO awards and now with the role as the nation's favourite judge on the biggest show on TV, it's good to be Tulisa Contostavlos.

But now, Tulisa speaks out about her childhood on a tough London estate and her struggles to cope with deep-seated emotional problems as she was forced to care for her mother alone. Surrounded by drugs, gangs and alcohol, Tulisa speaks openly about her traumatic childhood in her new book Honest, and how she came through it all to become the person she is today.
