She's soon to hit our television screens in the judging panel of the X Factor.

But before it all kicks off later this month, Tulisa Contostavlos has been making the most of a few rare days off on a holiday with friends in Ibiza.

The 23-year-old singer was seen showing off her toned curves in a black two-piece as she made the most of the sunshine and enjoyed a dip in the warm water.

Tulisa displayed her enviable figure in the on-trend high-waisted bikini, and smiled widely as she messed around with friends including former Misteeq singer Su-Elise Nash.

However, despite her incredible physique, Tulisa admitted in a previous interview that watching her weight isn't something she has to worry about.
She said: 'My diet is terrible, I don't know how I stay slim, I should really be obese! Sometimes I can eat healthily if I fancy cooking or I'll eat out. Anything I want - that's my diet!

'If I'm hungry I'll eat, and I'll eat anything that's there. And I don't drink water! Lucozade, Ribena or apple juice that is all I drink, all day long, so I'm pretty unhealthy.'

Tulisa will be seen hitting our TV screens alongside fellow judges Kelly Rowland, Gary Barlow and Louis Walsh when X Factor begins on ITV1 on 20th August.

In her official interview before the new series begins, Tulisa admitted she would be relying heavily on her 'glam squad' to help her look flawless on the small screen.

She said: 'I’m lucky to have a ‘glam squad’ of hairdressers, make-up artists and stylists who help with red carpet events.

'Once you’ve factored in hair straighteners and false lashes, it usually takes two hours.'

Tulisa also revealed she has been 'experimenting' with different labels during the audition process.

She added: 'I loved experimenting with labels like Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen during the auditions but I'm a high street girl at heart. River Island and Lipsy are my faves.'

But while Tulisa is undoubtedly excited about the beginning of the live X Factor shows, one person who isn't likely to be tuning in is her N-Dubz bandmate Dappy.
The 24-year-old singer, who is Tulisa's cousin, said in a recent interview he thinks the fast-track to success X Factor contestants have is 'unfair'.
He said: 'The point is, we have to struggle for what, six or seven years just to get two people to come up to us and ask us for a picture.
'These people go and do one or two auditions and they come back famous for six or seven months - just like that.'
