From her fresh-faced grin and crunchy curls back when N-Dubz was but a lewd twinkle in Dappy's eye to her puffy-lipped visage in court last week, Tulisa Contostavlos's face has changed a lot.

There's no denying it, really, is there. She did try to put it down to, er, weight loss last summer, telling the Mirror that she always loses weight from her nose.

When I lose weight it goes from my face, and everyone says my nose looks thinner. I swear on my life I've not had [surgery] done. I've literally just lost weight, and it goes from my nose.

Hmm. She also refuted claims she's been under the surgeon's knife this year, telling the Metro it was "clever make-up" giving her a tighter forehead, pillowy cheeks and plumper lips.

Have a skim through the gallery below to see how much Tulisa's face has changed since she first stepped into the spotlight and make up your own mind…
