Tulisa denies X Factor axe

Tulisa has denied claims that she has been axed from The X Factor, revealing she would always come back if asked.

The singer was reportedly said to be “gutted” and “embarrassed” after being told by producer Richard Holloway that she wouldn’t return to the panel this year, however she has now quashed those rumours, telling the Sunday Mirror that she is yet to discuss her future on the show, explaining that she wants to return for a third year.

“I still don’t know yet, as like every year I don’t find out until the month before. I’ve spoken to Simon via text messages, just general conversation, not about the show,” she said.

“I love the show and I’m competitive. I always want to come back and fight. I’m a fighter. I don’t care what people think.

“Honestly, I hear no evil, see no evil, I’m in my own bubble. I walk outside and I don’t get anything but love, people asking for photographs and autographs.”

Contostavlos also revealed that she is in talks for a role in a Hollywood movie.

“I enjoy acting, so I’m off to LA tomorrow to do that and I have meetings, auditions and agents lined up,” she added.

“I’ve got a movie planned for the end of the year so I’ll be filming in LA then. It’s 95 per cent confirmed but all I can tell you is it’s a sequel.”
