Tulisa to release first novel

Tulisa has announced that she will release a novel.

The singer and former X Factor judge will unleash the book Sky on September 26 via publishers Headline.

The story of the novel is said to mirror Tulisa's rise to fame, with the book's promotional material reading:

"In 2005 a South London schoolgirl huddles cold and wet on the kerb. Her bruised eye swollen shut, her schoolbag dirty and torn. Sky Beradino dreams of coming out on top - just for once - and vows that no one will keep her down forever. In 2013, a talented young actress takes a deep breath before stepping out on stage.

"Glamorous, confident and beautiful, only the very closest to her know the price she has paid. Gripping, passionate, powerful and raw, this is a novel of heartbreak and tragedy, hard work and hard knocks, courage and survival. It is the story of a young woman destined for stardom, who never gave up. No matter what. Tulisa's debut novel is impossible to put down. And impossible to forget."

It will be the first foray into fiction for the British singer, who was arrested on suspicion of supplying Class A drugs in June after a newspaper sting.
