I'm A Celeb fans shocked as Tulisa reveals meaning behind the name N-Dubz

No way?!

Author: Alex RossPublished 19th Nov 2024

With hits like 'I Need You', 'Papa Can You Hear Me', and 'Charmer', it's safe to say hip-hop trio N-Dubz have enjoyed a pretty extensive career, with I'm A Celeb contestant Tulisa Contostavlos being in the group since she was 11-years-old along with her cousins Dappy and Fazer.

Despite N-Dubz being around since 2000, fans are now only just discovering the true origin behind their name, as Tulisa has been spilling the beans with her I'm A Celeb camp mate Oti Mabuse.

What is the meaning behind the name N-Dubz?

Speaking to Oti about her amazing career in the band, Tulisa revealed the name N-Dubz is after the postcode for North West London, NW.

A shocked Oti, who lives in North West London herself, quipped: "I’m N-Dubz!"

Viewers and fans of the band were quick to take to social media to express their shock at the revelation. One wrote: 'I was also today years old when I found out that N-Dubz stands for NW London #ImACeleb'. (sic)

Another person added: 'n-dubz is NW postcode… was this public knowledge… #ImACeleb #ImACelebrity', with a third writing: 'It’s been decades and I only now realise that N-Dubz stood for NW, the postcode for north west London #imaceleb', (sic)

Somebody else wrote: 'Finding out why n dubs are called n dubz has blown my tiny mind', with another adding: 'N-Dubz meaning NW was brand new information to me! Every day really is a school day. #ImACeleb'. (sic)

Tulisa entered the jungle alongside nine other celebs during Sunday night's launch show, and her friend Rylan Clark was quick to jump to her defence online, after a number of online trolls commented on her appearance.

He wrote: 'Also before people start going for her appearance, Tulisa has been through a lot health wise the last few years. So lets not make s--- jokes about her on twitter yeah x'.
