X Factor judge Tulisa has said she’s “relived” that the court case surrounding her sex tape is over.

Tulisa appeared at the High Court in London today, after ex-Justin Edwards confessed to leaking a six-minute video of her earlier this year.

Reading our a pre-written statement, Tulisa said: ““It has been a very testing few months and this was not a case I ever wanted to go through.

“Justin Edwards’s actions were to spite me, make money and ruin my career. He has succeeded in none of these things.

“I stand here today a stronger, wiser young woman who has taken this experience and learnt from it.”

The N-Dubz star hit the headlines back in March when a six-minute clip of her and Justin involved in a sex act was posted online.

“I am disgusted by Justin and saddened by the people that believed I released the footage myself,” Tulisa said. “Today the truth has prevailed. After months of lying to the public and lying in court, Justin has finally admitted to being guilty and I hope justice is served.

“I would now like to draw a line under this and put it in the past. I also would like to thank from the bottom of my heart the fans that stood by me.

“I’m especially grateful for all the support I have received from the public, my friends, family and team. With that support and my determination I have won this battle.”

Tulisa added: “This time, Justin messed with the wrong woman.”
