Tulisa Contostavlos, 37, captivated followers with a skimpy turquoise bikini during a Mediterranean getaway, posting a series of holiday snaps on Instagram on Friday. The N-Dubz star wore a two-piece with a cross design at the waist and high-rise bottoms, posing poolside in multiple angles as a cuff bracelet sparkled on her wrist.

She continued to share updates into the evening, posting a shot of herself in a mini purple dress and, earlier, a leggy balcony pose ahead of a dinner spread at her hotel.

The holiday arrives as she acknowledged ending her three-year celibacy and hinted at finding love. During her appearance on I’m A Celeb last year, she described her orientation as based on emotional connection rather than physical attraction and said the thought of being with someone still made her feel physically sick.

Her rise to fame peaked in 2012, but she later endured a high-profile court case after her ex-boyfriend Justin Edwards released a sex tape. She said the trauma left her traumatized and has affected her relationships; she has spoken about feeling judged and ashamed, and noted that revenge porn was not illegal at the time, for which she received only a court apology from him.

Speaking on Jaime Laing’s Great Company podcast last month, Tulisa said she is no longer celibate but remains selective: finding someone she truly likes is rare, and physical attraction alone does not drive her; she said building a deep emotional connection takes time.

She is also promoting an upcoming autobiography, Judgement: Love, Trials and Tribulations, promising brutal honesty about her life in the spotlight. The book is expected to cover her battles with addiction, two suicide attempts, and the sex-tape scandal.
