Bad Blood? Tulisa Denies Feuding With Nicole Scherzinger

Tulisa Contostavlos famously clashed with former judge Kelly Rowland on last year's X Factor, though the former N Dubz singer has rubbished reports that there is bad blood between herself and Kelly's replacement Nicole Scherzinger.

Reports had suggested Tulisa and Nicole had been feuding throughout filming of the upcoming season of the show, however, the judge took to Twitter to say, "P*ss off media with all ur me n NicoleScherzy beef talk. Ur always guna try and make a headline cus uve got nothin good 2 write about". After fans began reacting to the remark, Tulisa added, "We get on fine!Just coz we r different doesnt mean we dont like each other!n if we didnt..believe me,Id let u know hate bulls**t". When MTV News caught up with Tulisa at the Wireless Festival earlier this month, she was also keen to dispel rumours of a conflict with Nicole, saying, "She is sweet as pie, so you can't expect any brawls this year as it's not gonna happen.She's not the argumentative type, she's just there as a professional. She knows her stuff, she does her job and she is probably a very nice judge. There's nothing wrong with that at all, it adds a different dynamic to the panel". However, Contostavlos warned that she's no pushover, saying, "Bit of both. I'd say if you cross me, I am probably the feistiest judge on the panel but if you stay respectful, then I can be a very nice judge".

Tulisa and Nicole join head judge Gary Barlow and veteran Louis Walsh on this year's show. Last year's winners Little Mix bagged a No.1 single with their debut record 'Cannonball'.
