Tulisa Contostavlos - Tulisa Contostavlos' Ex-boyfriend Admits Leaking Sex Tape

Earlier this year, a video became available online showing the X Factor judge performing a sex act on her ex-boyfriend. She denied responsibility for the fact that the tape had been leaked and posted her own video response on YouTube, condemning Edwards for allegedly being involved in the sale of the tape. On Thursday (July 12, 2012), a statement will reportedly be read out in court by Ms Contostavlos' solicitor, Mr Jonathan Coad, who will reveal the details of the settlement of Tulisa's claim against MC Ultra.

Prior to today's hearing, Mr Edwards has denied being responsible for the sale of the sex tape, describing it as "ungentlemanly." On the day that the sex tape was leaked, he posted a message on his Twitter feed absolving himself of responsibility, which read "I didn't wanna say anything on the subject but I see peoples imagination running away. it's nothing to do with me. backtowork." He has also lashed out at Simon Cowell's PR machine (Cowell is Tulisa's boss on X Factor), which he says has "hung him out to dry."
