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

    TULISA 'HEARTBROKEN' OVER LEAKED SEX TAPE

    Cheryl Cole, who has had her fair share of dramas thanks to her messy divorce from cheating hubby Ashley Cole and embarrassing sacking from the X Factor USA, has been friends with Tulisa since she replaced her on the judging panel of the UK reality show.

    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.'
