Former X Factor judge and N-Dubz singer Tulisa has revealed she is suffering from “minor paralysis” after a “Bell’s palsy attack”.<\/p>\n
The 37-year-old said she had undergone surgery to remove three cysts causing her facial condition, but said the impact of the surgery and the medication involved had led to the condition flaring up and causing facial paralysis.<\/p>\n
She also said that discovering a close friend had been diagnosed with cancer earlier this week had also contributed to her health issue.<\/p>\n
In a post on Instagram, the former I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out Of Here! contestant, whose full name is Tulisa Contostavlos, said: “The news after post-surgery effects\/drugs led me to, and pressure from throwing up, caused a Bell\u2019s Palsy attack.<\/p>\n
“Left my steroids in Manny but got some within 24hrs, so minor paralysis will last a week or so.<\/p>\n
“Nothing compared to what my Shelly is going through.<\/p>\n
“Currently in bed recovering nicely from it all.<\/p>\n
“Less sob story, more reminder we\u2019re all human, going through challenges, even when it looks shiny from the outside.”<\/p>\n
Tulisa also revealed she had given up smoking and spoke about her reproductive health, saying she had “cancelled my recent egg retrieval due to low count”, adding that it was “frustrating, but ok due to previous great success”.<\/p>\n

She added: “Life isn\u2019t constant happiness, it\u2019s a series of ups & downs that define being alive. It\u2019s up to you to choose your thoughts\/perceptions.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s your mind, not the experiences, others\u2019 treatment of you or the past, don\u2019t be consumed by the experiences, be the observer.”<\/p>\n
The singer announced late last year that her pop rap group N-Dubz, who had hit songs including Number 1, I Need You and Girls, were due to tour again in 2027.<\/p>\n
