Tough judge: Tulisa Contostavlos has axed a group for breaking her sex ban


Tulisa Contostavlos has proved she’s one tough judge, after axing a group for breaking a sex ban during the judge’s house stage.

The 23-year-old X Factor judge took eight groups to the Greek Island of Mykonos, but enforced a strict policy of no drinking or romping.

But after just two days, Tulisa was informed that six of the singers had been caught locked in passion.

Producers found out that two of the girls from one band had slept with two of the boys from another band, while two others from a mixed group also took part in a sex act, according to The Sun.

Their mentor was apparently furious over the discovery and said: ‘If they’re just mucking about, just for fun to have a s*** when they should be rehearsing then I’m not into that at all.’

Tulisa continued: ‘My villa was purposely higher up so I could see their villa at night-time.

'I could see who was awake and who wasn’t and I was also listening to see who was rehearsing and who was not’, the tabloid reported.

The judge had made her rules clear from the beginning, as soon as the bans landed on the Greek Island, but didn't seem to be taken seriously.

The scandal has become a first for the ITV show, as no other series has seen contestants sleeping together during the judge’s house stage.

The singers are said to have sneaked out of their villa during the night and when Tulisa found out she was fuming.

She told the Daily Star: ‘If people aren’t putting in the time and they think it’s a joke, and that they can go out partying 24/7, then they don’t want it as much as some other people.’

The N-Dubz star is desperate for one of her groups to win this season, hence her strict rules during rehearsals.

Contostavlos is being given advice by singer Jessie J, 23, during the auditions in Greece.

And yesterday she decided on the groups who would be making it though to the next stage of the competition.

And Tulisa has said that fellow judge Kelly Rowland is also being strict on her contestants, meaning singers will have to up their game this season.

Despite Tulisa having a party girl reputation during her early days with N-Dubz, she says that she would never go out before a gig and thinks the X Factor contestants should follow the same discipline.

X Factor's Tulisa Contostavlos shows off her curves in a sexy striped bikini on Spanish sunshine break

Sexy in stripes: Tulisa Contostavlos showed off her womanly curves in a frilly two-piece as she enjoyed a minibreak in Spain last week

When Cheryl Cole was a judge on The X Factor, there were constantly concerns about her weight.

But it seems there won't be any such worries about her replacement, Tulisa Contostavlos, who proudly displayed her feminine curves in a sexy striped bikini as she holidayed in Spain last week.

The 23-year-old singer looked happy and relaxed as she basked in the sunshine and played ball games with a friend in the sea.

Tulisa also went make-up free as she enjoyed the warm weather, showing off her enviably clear skin.

The X Factor star recently spoke about how she maintains her figure, admitting she doesn't worry too much about what she eats.

She said: 'My diet is terrible, I don't know how I stay slim, I should really be obese! Sometimes I can eat healthily if I fancy cooking or I'll eat out. Anything I want - that's my diet!

'If I'm hungry I'll eat, and I'll eat anything that's there. And I don't drink water! Lucozade, Ribena or apple juice that is all I drink, all day long, so I'm pretty unhealthy.'

The N-Dubz star was enjoying a quick minibreak in between her commitments with The X Factor and her band.

But it seems juggling between her N-Dubz work and television career isn't likely to be a problem for much longer, as bandmate Dappy revealed earlier this week the band are planning to split.

He explained: 'The band is definitely going to quiet down for the next year-and-a-half to two years.

'We may release some stuff every six months but it will definitely be quieter. Then, at the end of that period, we will do a Greatest Hits or Best of N-Dubz. Then that’ll be it: finished.'

In the meantime, however, Tulisa is planning to launch her solo career, and wrote on Twitter over the weekend that she is currently recording tracks for her debut solo record.

She tweeted: 'I think I might of just finished recording my first single? Won't speak 2 soon there's more 2 come! Woohoo.'

Tulisa later added: 'Right straight back in the booth 2 record the next 1! I'm on a roll waayheey!'

Speaking recently about the kind of music she is hoping to treat fans to with the record, Tulisa said: 'I'd like to make a combination of things. I want to get on a bit of dance stuff. I'd love to work with someone like Swedish House Mafia, try something different.

'I also want to do acoustic things, just work from scratch with instruments, whether it be strings or piano and just real melodic music.

'That's what I'd like to do. Some nice ballads as well. Because that's what I'm about really, growing up.'
