The singer performed at Hylands Park near Chelmsford on Saturday and at Weston Park near Birmingham on Sunday. The latter performance saw her don a one-shoulder leopard print mini and black boots as she showcased her vocal talents alongside fellow band members Dappy and Fazer .
Tulisa didn't neglect her promotional duties though, remembering to tweet a reminder to watch the show to her fans: "So excited for the first episode to air tonight!! Hope you all enjoy the show! ITV1 8pm"
