North West London gets I'm A Celeb shout-out as Tulisa reveals meaning behind N-Dubz name

The North West London postcode got a shout-out on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here this week.

On Monday night’s (November 18) episode of the show, N-Dubz’s Tulisa revealed the hip hop trio’s name pays tribute to her ends in the north of London.

As the celeb campmates got to know each other a bit better, Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse asked Tulisa what exactly N-Dubz stood for.

In the moment, the singer revealed the name means North West and is a shortened way of saying the start of the area's postcode NW.

Oti quickly shared her excitement as she said she is also based in the north west of the city. She exclaimed:”I’m from N-Dubz, I'm N-Dubz.” 

Tulisa hails from the borough of Camden and alongside her cousin Dappy and their friend Fazer and formed N-Dubz when she was just 11 years old.

Dappy has also spoken about the meaning of the N-Dubz name in a 2009 interview with the Guardian. When asked what the N stood for he explained: “North. North-west. North-west W, then we cut it down to N-Dubz.”
