IN a figure-hugging dress, with immaculate make-up and wavy hair extensions, Jamie Eagle looks like a confident, stylish young woman.

Some pals even reckon she resembles X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos — much to 19-year-old Jamie's delight.

For Jamie was born a boy and credits the N-Dubz singer as her inspiration finally to find her female identity.

Jamie, of Bridgend, south Wales, said: "Tulisa has become my idol as she is so true to herself and her attitude and glam style has given me the courage to embrace becoming a girl.

"I trawled shops for copycat outfits and when I wore them, for the first time I'd found my true style.

"It was great to have someone I could take inspiration from. It felt like she was there in the changing room, helping me through.

"She's brave with her fashion choices and I feel I must be brave every time I step outside as people stare at me for being transgender."

She should probably pick a better idol - lyrics from tracks by Tulisa's group N-Dubz:

"If you only knew what some females have put me through
Last week, I chased by a beast
Licking her lips like I'm some feast

I was drunk, my eyes were red
I'm kinda known so I wanted some head
Somehow we ended up in a bed
Little did I know she dreds on her legs and a wig on her head

I ain't gonna lie, I was scared
Bit fat mama came all prepared
'Bout which color condom would I like
Get the <not allowed> off me, ooh"

"Josh slept with Bianca,
little did she know he was a wanker,
cause he was a bisexual prick,
he loved slits as well as dicks,
he f---ed Bianca as hard as Rick,"
