Devastated ... X Factor judge Tulisa

The victim, named locally as Reece James, 20, was blasted in the head in what police believe was a “pre-planned and targeted” attack.
Also known by the street name “Stylie”, he had travelled 100 miles from his London home to an area of Bournemouth in Dorset blighted by Somali drug gangs.
Cops found his body in Boscombe at around 2.30am near where dealers are said to operate. A 22-year-old man has been arrested.
The youngster was filmed earlier this month alongside Tulisa, 24, in a video for the rapper Nines on the Church End housing estate in Harlesden, North West London.
She was seen making a C symbol with her hand. The sign is used by Harlesden’s gun-toting Crime Scene Boys — or the Church Road Soldiers.
Tulisa insisted it was a reference to Camden, where she was born.
But last night Twitter tributes confirmed Reece’s links to the Church Road Soldiers. Church Road Blockzz’ wrote: “R.I.P My older g Stylie gone but never forgotton g!”
