Tulisa on teenage years: "I was totally into the idea of fairytale romance"

Tulisa Contostavlos has revealed that her desire for "fairytale romance" led her into sleeping with lots of men as a youth.

In a newly published extract from her forthcoming autobiography Honest, Tulisa reveals that she bedded a lot of males as a teenager.

She lost her virginity by 14 but she admits that blindly seeking out romance was usually the cause of her liaisons. Tulisa said:

"I can still count on my fingers and toes the number of guys I've slept with. A good percentage of those encounters happened between the ages of 14 and 17 and that felt like a lot, even at the time."

The 'Young' star continued: "Despite my street-girl persona, I was totally into the idea of fairytale romance. I wore my heart on my sleeve and I was ready to give my all if I thought I was going to get love in return. Of course, it wasn't the right way to go about things, because any attention and affection I got from those men was usually only temporary, but it took me a while to learn that lesson."
