N-Dubz add extra tour dates after tickets sell out in just one day for epic reunion

N-Dubz have added extra tour dates after tickets sold out in just one day.

The Back To The Future tour will be their first UK stadium tour since they split in 2011.

The London-based trio announced their come back to fans in a video where they step out of a private helicopter after it flies over the city.

Dappy (real name Costadinos Contostavlos), Tulisa Contostavlos and Fazer (real name Richard Rawson) released their new song this week, which was played on Radio 1Xtra.

After posting a snippet of their new track Charmer, as they emerge from the chopper, their followers went wild.

Aitch, Unknown T and Yungen were among the big names to react in excitement at the announcement.

Their live shows are set to start on 7 November and they will be performing at some of the UK's biggest venues.

The band have released a string of hits since 2006 including Ouch, Papa Can You Hear Me and Number 1, where they teamed up with Tinchy Stryder.

But in 2011 they decided to go their separate ways to work on solo careers.

Tulisa, perhaps the most successful of the three landed a number one single in 2012 with her debut release of Young.

She then chased it up with two more Top 20 hits, but since then she's not managed to hit the mark.

The 33-year-old was also a judge on X Factor where she mentored the likes of Little Mix and Ella Henderson.

Dappy also had two Top Ten hits - No Regrets and Rockstar, which both came from his debut album Bad Intentions.

Fazer also released his own music, including a collaboration with the late Tom Parker from The Wanted.

As well as their successes, they were also thrown into the spot light for all the wrong reasons.

In 2013 Tulisa was arrested on suspicion of supplying class A drugs, but the case was dismissed after a prosecution witness, former tabloid journalist Mazher Mahmood, was found guilty of lying to the court.

A year later Tulisa spoke out about her experience, saying that she had been "tricked" into believing she was auditioning for the role of a "bad" girl for a movie.

"They recorded this and produced it as evidence when I thought it was an audition. It was a terrible thing to do," she said.

The court heard how he sparked a "mob-handed attack" when he spat at two teenage women at a petrol station in Guildford.

In 2017 he also admitted to arming himself with a butcher's knife during a row with his partner.
