Singer Tulisa will make her movie debut in the new British film Suicide Kids.

The 22-year-old plays one of seven depressed London teens who create a pact to take their own lives, but it all ends with a bitter twist.

Director Arjun Rose told ITN the grime star was a pleasure to work with on set: "She's awesome, that's the word to describe her. She looks beautiful, she knew all her lines. She was pretty much getting into the performance first time."

Star of hit TV series The Wire, Idris Elba, is executive producer on the movie, which also features Adulthood's Adam Deacon and Hollyoaks actress Emma Rigby

Suicide Kids is due to be released in UK cinemas next April.
