UPDATED: Tulisa Denies Quitting X Factor Over Nicole Scherzinger Bust-Up
wennA tabloid newspaper today claims that Tulisa Contostavlos has walked out of The X Factor after learning that Nicole Scherzinger has been asked back to the panel.
Louis Walsh revealed before the last season's final that 2012 was the first year ever that both female panellists had bonded well off-stage, but the Daily Star Sunday's sources seem to think otherwise.
The N-Dubz star, who mentored girlband Little Mix to victory in 2011, apparently had a blazing row with show bosses before deciding to throw in the towel.
Speaking to EntertainmentWise, her representative has strongly denied the report.

The source had told the paper: "Tulisa had a blazing row with producers when she found out Nicole was coming back. She can't stand working with her and Tulisa is not enjoying the job at all.
"The producers couldn't wait to get rid of her. She turned her dressing room into a nightclub and would boom out loud music."
They added: "Despite leading Little Mix to victory [in 2011], she wasn't as available to her acts off-stage as people think.
"Tulisa got the hump when she was warned about her behaviour."
We have reached out to Tulisa's reps for comment.
