It's not all sad times for Tulisa since she got canned from the X Factor, as in an almost fairytale level scenario, she has met up with her secret half-brother for the first time after spending the last five years tracking him down. That sounds more ominous then it actually is, but it was all lovey dovey and not a revenge thing so don't worry.
The N-Dubber spent six hours in private with Neil Jones at her home in North London on Sunday and while she is said to have been 'incredibly nervous', their meeting 'went really well'. She explained: 'I'm so happy to finally meet my brother. This has been a very important weekend for my family.'
A source (i.e. her publicist) told the papers 'Tulisa feels like the final piece of her family jigsaw has been completed. She has spent years trying to find Neil and was delighted after finally discovering his whereabouts. They communicated online and agreed to meet up over a coffee. Tulisa was incredibly nervous but the meeting went really well and Neil has been welcomed into the family with open arms. Tulisa could not be happier. It's been an emotional few days.'
Neil, nine years older than Tulisa at 35, first made contact with their dad Plato Contostavlos before getting in touch with the N-Dubz singer on Thursday. He is said to have been keen to meet Tulisa after finding out aged 17 he had a half-sister, but he had no idea she was a popstar and had even purchased some of her records in the past.
A source added to the Daily Mirror : 'Naturally he was stunned when he realised he was related to someone whose records he had bought unknowingly. Neil was pretty nervous but has taken it all in his stride.' Probably because all he can see is dollar signs in his eyes. Long lost millionaire sister? Happy days.
