Tulisa will be grateful for the victory, having endured a tumultuous few weeks since footage of her performing a sex act on former boyfriend Justin Edwards appeared on the internet.

Commenting on her win, the N-Dubz singer said: “Thank you so much for voting for me. It’s a true honor and definitely a lovely confidence boost.
