In and , Tulisa was a judge on The X Factor UK and won with Little Mix, who have since gone on to become the most successful girl group in the show's history. Her mum, Anne Byrne, was born in Dublin, and moved with her family to Sheffield, South Yorkshire, and then to London when she was a teenager. Tulisa's dad, Plato Contostavlos, is Greek Cypriot.

The US stars' version had some new lyrics, but the verses Tulisa had written were kept and sung by Britney instead. Tulisa's version was never released, but she did perform it live last month , giving fans an insight into how the song would otherwise have sounded. Fans have speculated that her original demo is the reason Britney sings with a British accent on the track. They obviously got her to listen to that tone and sing along with it.

The singer adds: "There definitely is more awareness, I think that with a lot of subjects, not just classism, on everything that's important that wasn't 10 years ago. Slowly but surely, baby steps. However, Tulisa still remains firm tabloid fodder, and many have recently picked up on the recent changes to her appearance - something she is quite open about.

If your talented you'll always be financially stable!!!!
