Tulisa Constostavlos has confirmed in a newspaper interview that she has had cosmetic surgery on her face.
While speaking to The Guardian, the singer said she hadn’t tried to hide the procedure, but had been unable to comment on the news because she was avoiding giving interviews for the past year.
In her first print interview since the collapse of her drugs trial, the former X-Factor star admitted to having fillers in her cheeks and lips:
“Look, the papers have always said I’ve denied it, but I haven’t given an interview in a year, so where have I had the chance to deny it? I just haven’t spoken about it.
“Yes, I’ve had my lips done, and I’m happy with my lips. And I also had a tiny bit of filler in my cheeks. Pictures of me where my face was swelling, I had water retention – where you have filler, your face draws up a load of water. So my face began to swell like a balloon. And this is when people thought I’d had surgery and said, ‘What’s she done? She’s ruined her face’.”
The singer has denied having a nose job though, and insists that the change in look is more to do with the work around her face and shading make-up:
“That’s just make-up. Can you see the shading there? So losing a stone, filler in my cheeks, my lips done and the contouring – and people do think, ‘Oh gosh, you look so different’. But I’m happy with it.”
The singer is also rumoured to be making a return to The X-Factor, after Simon Cowell recently told The Mirror that he believed she’d been through a rough time but was interested in working with her again on the show:
“I think we would end up doing something with Tulisa again.”
