Papped: Celebrities spotted in the UAE this week
Dubai is quickly becoming the mini-break and stopover favourite for the world’s rich and famous.
With so many A-listers (and, let’s be honest B-, C- and D-listers) visiting the glittering emirate every day, we bring you a weekly round up of who was spotted where.
This week we’ve had a great mix, from athletes to rappers, reality stars to actors…
Tom Daley
Ever since Tom Daley represented Great Britain in the 2008 Summer Olympics, he’s been flipping brilliant at brilliantly flipping off diving boards all over the globe. Daley stopped by Dubai for the FINA Diving World Series.

JaDine
Filipino celebrity couple Nadine Lustre and James Reid stopped by Dubai for their sold out ‘In Love’ tour at Al Nasr Leisureland. We’re still not sure why James felt a scarf was necessary, but hey, they’re famous and we’re not.

Tulisa
Ex-member of British hip-hop group N-Dubz and ex-judge on British X-Factor Tulisa Contostavlos was seen paying a visit to Dubai to meet a number of music industry executives. Rumour has it she’s planning a comeback. Let’s hope her return to music is as on point as her eyebrows.
