Tulisa's dad claims she will quit showbiz for the right man

X-Factor judge Tulisa will eventually quit her showbiz career to settle down and start a family, according to the star’s dad.

53-year-old Plato Contostavlos, formerly the keyboardist in 70s band Mungo Jerry, told the Daily Mirror that his daughter will give up her TV judging role and chart ambitions once she’s found the right man:

“Although Tulisa loves her music and The X Factor, she has told me that as soon as she finds the right guy and decides to have a family that will be her priority.

“I can see her disappearing out of the public eye so she can concentrate on being a good mum when the time is right and she has made a bit more money. She’s told me she wants to make a ‘nest’ and have a happy family more than anything else. Family is the most important thing to her.”

Plato also talked about the devastation caused by the sex-tape featuring the N-Dubz star and ex-boyfriend Justin Edwards that was leaked last month:

“What Justin did has really brought the family down and destroyed us in some ways. Tulisa is strong but it ­seriously dented her confidence.

“I tried to speak to her about it but she was so upset she couldn’t talk. She was in bits. He has ripped her heart apart.”
