Tulisa Contostavlos insists intimate footage of her which was leaked onto the internet was not a sex tape.

The 'X Factor' judge is seen performing a sex act on ex-boyfriend Justin Edwards in the video and she admits she was devastated when it appeared online because she didn't really know what she was doing at the time.

The 23-year-old pop beauty said: 'I would hardly call it a sex tape. Number one, there was no sex involved. Number two, a 19-year-old who's just starting to learn and her boyfriend pulls out a camera, doesn't really class as a sex tape.

'Everyone does it. Such a big deal has been made out of it that I feel like a bloody alien.'

Tulisa - who claims Justin was responsible for leaking the tape, something he denies - was terrified her career would be over once it came out but was surprised at the support she received.

Speaking to Alan Carr on his Channel 4 show 'Chatty Man', the 'Young' singer said: 'It was my worst nightmare. I had a bit of a nervous breakdown.

'I'm thinking, 'Oh God, my career could be over - the whole UK thinks I'm a slapper.' But I have been surprised by how nice everyone has been.

'I haven't done anything wrong, so any normal person would be like, 'She's human'.'
