Former 'X Factor' judge Tulisa Contostavlos's father Plato is worried about his daughter's wellbeing and career after she was arrested on suspicion of supplying drugs.

The 24-year-old singer was quizzed by cops after she was allegedly caught on camera setting up a cocaine deal worth 800 pounds to an undercover, reported Daily Express.

She was arrested and bailed last week pending further enquiries, along with her rapper pal Mike GLC, who is accused of selling the cocaine.

"I was devastated when I heard it - that's my child. I was hurt badly. I just thought, 'What's this - what are you doing? Have you had a drink too many and you're starting to talk rubbish'?
 

"All I know is that Tulisa was on the news and I went,'Oh my God, I can't believe this'. I fear for Tulisa and her career and I'm trying to reach out to her so she can succeed again. I'm worried as a father about the people she's hanging about with. Any father on the planet would have fears - but I know she'll pull through because she has strong family," he said.
