Steve Constostavlos has sadly died as his daughter, Tulisa has paid a poignant tribute.

The N-Dubz star shared a childhood snap of her cuddling upto the keyboard player, who went by the name of Plato, and wrote: "Love you pops, rest in peace. Forever my father's daughter" reports the Mirror.

Her cousin Dappy, who is also in N-Dubz alongside her and Frazer, also paid tribute to Steve as he shared a video of himself on social media with his uncle alongside a white dove emoji.

Tulisa posted a broken heart emoji on the post, with Dappy responding to her: "I'm so sorry T."

Last year, the former X-Factor judge opened up about her 'unconventional relationship' with her dad. She said on Paul Brunson's podcast We Need To Talk: "Me and my dad's relationship has not been a conventional one.

"I would say me and my dad now we're just more friends that kind of have an understanding of one another."

Tulisa's dad Steve honed his own successful music career as the keyboardist for Mungo Jerry. The band was largely successful in the 70s after landing number one his In The Summertime, with Plato playing on keyboard.

His brother Byron - Dappy's dad - played bass guitar in the group. Tulisa previously opened up to Fearne Cotton on her Happy Place podcast about growing up in a musical household.
