The X Factor star Tulisa Contostavlos has revealed she hasn't had sex in two years.

The N-Dubz star opened up about her love life in a new interview, explaining that she has been "celibate" for a few years as she wants to have intimate relations with someone she's in a committed relationship with.

"I don't date, I court," she told the Zeze Millz Show. "I have been celibate for the past two years so no sex before monogamy.

"So basically you are courting because you like to build friendships before you start dating, you just don't shag them and you get to know them. I have got friendships that I am building."

Tulisa and her N-Dubz bandmates Dappy and Fazer confirmed last year that the group were reuniting after over a decade, sharing their first single 'Charmer'.

Announcing the reunion at the time, Tulisa wrote on Instagram: "The moment is nearly here guys. After 10 years you're getting new @n_dubz music. We've been planning this for longer than you know and put our blood sweat and tears into it. But as always the magic makes it all worth it."

The band embarked on a sold-out arena tour last year, and released their latest album Timeless this month, with the group also touring across the UK this summer, including stops in London, Norwich, Belfast and Cardiff.

Tulisa was previously a judge on The X Factor for two series between 2011 and 2012, with the star mentoring winning act Little Mix in the former series. The show itself last aired in 2018, and while there appear to be no plans for a reboot, the US version is set to be revived.
