Tulisa claims sex-tape shame only made her stronger

Tulisa has said that any reputation she gains from her sex tape incident cannot be helped, adding that she regrets nothing.

The X Factor judge and solo star was left red faced earlier this year when a video showing her and an ex-boyfriend enjoying an 'intimate moment' hit the internet. Tulisa tackled the issue head on, posting her own video reply to deal with the issue but she knows the damage was already done.

“I could sit all day long saying I wish I’d never done this or met that person but at the end of the day, with the position I’m in, I can’t exactly complain," Tulisa tells Top of the Pops magazine. 

“Everything’s taken me to the place that I’m in and made me the person I am. It just makes you stronger, doesn’t it?”

Tulisa also goes on to seemingly confirm her return to The X Factor later in the year, saying: “I don’t know if I’m allowed to answer. I suppose it doesn’t really matter, so let’s just say (I’ve known for) quite a while.”

Adding: “Would it be cheeky to say I think I did a good enough job to keep my place?”

Meanwhile, it was confirmed yesterday that Tulisa will appear at this year's T4 On The Beach event.
