N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos has admitted that she is “really nervous” about replacing Cheryl Cole has a judge on The X Factor UK.

The singer began auditions for the new series in Birmingham last week alongside fellow judges Kelly Rowland, Gary Barlow and Louis Walsh.

“I’m really nervous. I’ve had mixed emotions this week. I feel pressure,” she told Heart magazine.

But despite questions over her appearances on the show, Tulisa said she felt like she had earned the opportunity to be on the judging panel.

“I’m involved in the writing, producing and singing, so it’s not like I’ve had a couple of hits and that’s it,” she added.

The X Factor begins later this year.
