Tulisa speaks of support from Cheryl after sex-tape shame

From one tabloid favourite to another, Tulisa has revealed that she was supported through her sex tape ordeal by none other than Cheryl Cole.

Tulisa took Cole's seat on the X Factor judging panel in 2011 when the 'Call My Name' singer vacated the seat for her highly touted US X Factor role - but there's no bad blood between the two, with Cheryl offering support to FHM's hottest woman in the world during her recent video scandal.

"I've been in touch with Cheryl," says Tulisa in an interview with The Mirror newspaper. "I actually had a really nice text from her after my "hoo-hah" a couple of weeks ago, offering her support."

Tulisa's 'hoo-hah' got the promotional campaign for her debut solo single 'Young' off to a nice start, with Tulisa quickly following it up with personal apologies and only this week being named the sexiest female human on the planet by leading UK lads mag, FHM. It has all paid off, with 'Young' set to score Tulisa a No.1 single in this week's chart.
