Tulisa has spoken out about how sobriety made her anxious about taking the stage with N-Dubz since their reunion.

She also spoke of the band’s drive and long past, saying “We started us when we were 11 and it wasn’t until we were 17 until we had a hit and then it took another two years for us to emerge”.
During her appearance on the show, she showed off her toned complexion and new sleek black locks, which looked different from previous looks.
