Singer and X-Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos made an appearance in court where she denied all drug related charges filed against her.

The 25-year-old, who was arrested in June after an undercover investigation by the Sun, is accused of being "concerned with the supply of 13.9 grams of cocaine" to undercover reporter Mazher Mahmood between May 20 and 24.

There were more than 40 photographers and around half a dozen police officers at the court as the singer arrived. The court’s press bench was packed as the former X Factor judge walked into the court and was directed into the dock. When asked to enter a plea, she replied “not guilty.”

The singer was forced to disclose her address to the court after her solicitor requested for it to be withheld to prevent “unwanted visitors.” The singer then told the court: "Just to let you know, after it being read out, in the next month or so I might have to move to a new address."

Contostavlos was granted unconditional bail.
