Tulisa has been tested for swine flu
THE lead singer of chart-topping British band N-Dubz lies motionless in a hospital bed, her face covered by a mask, after being diagnosed with suspected swine flu.
Tulisa Contostavlos, 20, flew to Athens on Thursday night for a break with family and friends after finishing a 23-date UK tour, when the band performed for thousands of teenage fans.
Chart-topper ... Tulisa
But she fainted and needed medical attention during the flight — then had to be rushed to hospital yesterday after a doctor noted all the symptoms connected with the potentially deadly virus.
Tulisa was last night under observation on an isolation ward in Pendeli, Greece, as doctors awaited the results of tests.
A source close to the band, currently top of the UK singles chart with Number One, said: “Tulisa is very poorly indeed. She has gone from a huge high of chart success and the tour to panicking about her health.
“Tulisa’s family have been forced to wear masks and have only been allowed minimal contact. It is a terrifying time.”
The band’s spokesman said: “We are hopeful Tulisa will be given the all-clear and will be well enough to leave hospital in the next couple of days.”
Band members Richard “Fazer” Rawson, 22, and Tulisa’s cousin Dino “Dappy” Contostavlos, 21, are in Britain and have been told about her illness

Sugababes have become the first UK pop act to sign to Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella Records.
The trio finalised the deal with the famous label at a meeting in London last month.
Roc-A-Fella is known for releasing work by high profile hip-hop artists, including its CEO Jay-Z, Kanye West, Beanie Sigel and Jadakiss.
The trio are currently working on their seventh album, which they described as "a biggie" on their website.
They claim they've already booked recording sessions in Los Angeles and Miami, and are planning to team up with producers who have worked with Rihanna and Beyonce.
Only last week they revealed, via their official Twitter account, that they will be collaborating with producer RedOne, best known for his work with Lady GaGa.
The group released their last album, Catfights And Spotlights, in October 2008 through Island Records.
