The I’m A Celeb star and singer revealed that her real name was in fact Tula
The singer revealed that her real name was in fact Tula.
Explaining why, she said: ‘My grandma is called Tula, so I was named after her.
‘But Tulisa means tiny Tula in Greek.
‘So that ended up being my nickname anyway growing up.’
Tulisa then revealed that the pronunciations of Tulisa in Greek and British are quite different, with Olivia stating that ‘we butcher it’.
Tulisa showed off her iconic ‘Female Boss’ tattoo just minutes into Sunday night’s episode.
The tattoo hit the headlines back in 2011 when then X Factor judge Tulisa was accused of illegally promoting her perfume of the same name when she struck a pose to display her forearm at the start of the show.
In the opening credits at the start of the show, glamorous Tulisa proudly stuck her arm up.

In 2011, the singer said she’d been showing off the inking long before she joined ITV series and would continue to long afterwards.
She told The Mirror at the time: ‘It’s always been my trademark and it’s always been my nickname,’
‘The perfume’s not actually called The Female Boss – it’s just TFB. So someone wouldn’t go into a shop and buy my perfume just because they’d seen my tattoo.
Tulisa is making her television comeback by appearing on this year’s I’m A Celebrity and said: ‘There’s nothing worse in that jungle than what happened in 2013.’
