Episode Details

Tulisa Contostavlos, once a pop star turned media crusader, is launching a bold campaign to reform UK media ethics — demanding an independent press regulator free from industry control. Her mission stems from her own harrowing 2013 arrest, later cleared when journalist Mazher Mahmood was jailed for tampering with evidence. Now healed, she’s channeling that trauma into advocacy, criticizing current systems like Ipso for being press-funded and self-regulating. She’s rallying allies — including Caroline Flack’s mother and Hillsborough campaigners — to push Prime Minister Andy Burnham for mandatory publisher participation in a truly independent watchdog. This isn’t just personal redemption — it’s a call for systemic change to protect the public from media abuse.
