Tulisa Contostavlos admits drink driving

The singer is disqualified from driving for 15 months after crashing a Ferrari while over the limit in September.

Singer and former X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos has pleaded guilty to drink driving after crashing a Ferrari last year.

It was reported that the star was arrested following an alleged collision between a Ferrari and a Saab outside Southgate Tube station in north London on 10 September.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed Contostavlos, of Enfield, was charged on 7 March.

The 27-year-old cried when she was asked to state her address at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court.

She then admitted to being over the limit at the time of the incident.

The court heard that Contostavlos had consumed two glasses of wine before the incident involving her Ferrari, which she has since sold.

Tarika Jayaratne, prosecuting, said the star drove “on the wrong side of the road” and hit a vehicle which was carrying two people.

Ms Jayaratne told the court that, during her interview at the police station, Contostavlos said she was “sleep-walking” or “sleep-driving” at the time.

She has been disqualified from driving for 15 months and ordered to pay fines and costs totalling £1,185. SkyNews.com
