The English-Greek singer confessed to have taken a deadly mix of alcohol and pills after she was charged with supplying Class A drugs.

The case involved 'The Sun on Sunday' undercover journalist Mazher Mahmood, who allegedly manipulated the singer into an entrapment. Under false pretenses, he was said to have lured the actress by promising a big project for her.

The case was later nixed by the court when the presiding judge decided that Mazher Mahmood was lying in court while the singer addressed the media and still insisted on being the victim thereafter according to news reports the previous week.

In the documentary on BBC, the actress is shown sobbing and in hysterics as she described what the reporters behind said newspaper has done to her.

"I just want my life back. They've ruined me," Tulisa Contostavlos reportedly said.

Said undercover journalist is now being investigated by the Crown Prosecution Service, putting into the light previous criminal cases where he has been involved in.

The documentary that features the artist called 'Tulisa: The Price of Fame', has followed her from the time the drug case broke out and lasted for a year. It also included a webcam footage that was filmed by the singer herself.

The singer pointed out how she's become a 'nervous wreck' after learning that she would be formally charged with the drug dealing case before she downed pills and alcohol in December 2013.

The singer didn't suffer lasting effects from the pill-and-alcohol cocktail she had ingested, but woke up the next day feeling numb and drowsy. Tulisa said she felt helpless and felt drained as a person with everything that has happened.

Additionally, the singer left her Hertfordshire mansion and moved in to a London flat after claiming that she didn't feel safe in her own home anymore.

Other reports say that she wants to sell the house, not even wanting to take her belongings in fear that someone will 'follow' her.

The documentary will be aired on BBC tonight at 10:00 p.m.
