Champion: Tulisa Contostavlos celebrates after her N-Dubz team wins the female round of the Soccer Six tournament at The Valley in south east London


As the sole female member of urban trio N-Dubz, Tulisa Contostavlos usually provides the glamour.

But yesterday the 21-year-old Londoner showed she wasn't afraid to dress down as she showed off her football skills at a charity soccer match.

Contostavlos was captain of the the winning female team, which included former Mis-teeq singer Su-Elise Nash, Hollyoaks actress Sasha Emmanuel and TV presenter Liv Boeree.

The team were among dozens of celebrities who gathered at Charlton Athletic's home ground The Valley to play at the annual Soccer Six charity tournament, which raises money for the Samaritans.

Writing on her Twitter page after the game, the pop star enthused: 'Yeeeeeeessss N-Dubz gals team won Soccer Six.

'As team captain I'm taking home the trophy. Told you we will defeat you.'

The N-Dubz team defeated two other female teams, which included X Factor third place Stacey Solomon, The Cheeky Girls and Bianca Gascoigne.

Joining Contostavlos at the game was her bandmate Dappy, who was booed by some of the crowd members following his various controversies in recent months.

He was seen exchanging a few words with rapper Lethal Bizzle - who was on another team - as they disagreed over a tackle on the pitch.

In the male part of the tournament, the X Factor team were declared the winners.

The team included TV presenter Jeff Brazier - who has been hosting the X Factor live shows - and 2009 contestants Danyl Johnson and Jamie 'Afro' Archer and former Blue singer Lee Ryan.

Others on the field yesterday included McFly members Danny Jones and Harry Judd and comedian David Baddiel.

Before the tournament, Claire Duncan at Samaritans said: 'It is fantastic that so many top celebrities will be supporting us at our annual star-studded football tournament Soccer Six.

'In these tough times, life can be very demanding and the need for Samaritans is greater than ever. Funds raised will allow Samaritans to continue to offer confidential support to people in emotional distress, 24-hours-a-day.'
