    Cheryl Cole helped X factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos back from the brink of depression during her sex tape saga.

    Tulisa says Cheryl sent her 'a really nice text' during her toughest test, a time when she was so low she slept on the bathroom floor for a week.

    X Factor judge Tulisa Contosavlos, 23, was publicly humiliated when an intimate video of her and a former flame was leaked online.

    Keen to show there is no hard feelings between the two however, Tulisa added: 'When people say I’m the new ‘nation’s sweetheart’ I’m like, ‘No! That role will always belong to Cheryl!’ 'I’ve become the nation’s little rebel.'
