N-Dubz’ singer Tulisa Contostavlos has appeared in court this morning to deny her involvement in a drug offence.

Tulisa was accused of offering to supply a Class A drug to an undercover tabloid reporter and arrested in June. Today she pleaded not guilty to the offence at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

Dressed in a smart black suit the newly blonde singer was forced by the judge to state her address in court. She said: “Just to let you know, after it being read out, in the next month or so I might have to move to a new address.”

Appearing alongside Tulisa in the dock was friend and rapper Mike GLC, who is accused of supplying the drug. He also pleaded not guilty.

The judge presiding over the case said today that the case was too serious to be heard in a magistrates’ court and the pair would instead be tried at Southwark Crown Court on 9 January 2014.

Tulisa and Mike GLC were both released on bail.
