X Factor 2011: Tulisa says joining the show has 'ruined her life'!

Tulisa Contostavlos 2011

X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos has reportedly told friends that joining the hit ITV1 reality show has been one of the “biggest mistakes” of her career.

The 23-year-old is apparently “furious” with fellow judges Gary Barlow and Kelly Rowland, telling her pals that being on the panel has “ruined her life”.

“Tulisa broke down after last week’s live show because she can’t deal with the stress she’s feeling,” a source explained. “She was crying and said: ‘I wish I’d never done The X Factor, it’s ruined my life!’”

It can’t be that bad, surely?!

Speaking to Closer magazine, the supposed insider continued: “Tulisa says she’s exhausted because she’s only been getting around four hours sleep a night – she lies awake worrying.

“She’s surviving on coffee as she says she’s lost her appetite. It’s making her feel ill.”

The source added: “Before the last live show, she broke out in a sweat and was having what looked like a panic attack. She thinks the arguing is starting to affect her nerves and says she doesn’t know how much longer she can cope.”

The insiders claim that despite attempts to look friendly for the cameras, Tulisa and Kelly just aren’t getting on.

“The pair had a bust-up the week after their fireworks over Misha B. They haven’t spoken properly since and now they leave the studios half an hour apart, so they won’t bump into each other,” a pal said.

“Tulisa’s said she can’t be herself on the show any more. She talks to Louis, but doesn’t confide in Gary.”
