Tulisa took Cheryl Cole's place on The X Factor judging panel
Tulisa has revealed Cheryl Cole offered her support during her sex tape ordeal.
The N-Dubz singer - who recently hit the headlines when footage appeared online showing her sharing an "intimate moment" with a former boyfriend - took Cheryl's place on The X Factor judging panel and has now taken her crown as FHM's World's Sexiest Woman.
Tulisa told The Daily Mirror: "I've been in touch with Cheryl. I actually had a really nice text from her after my 'hoo-hah' a couple of weeks ago, offering her support."
The 23-year-old previously revealed when her sex tape was first leaked she was so depressed she slept on the bathroom floor for a week.
Meanwhile, Tulisa insisted she didn't want to take Cheryl's place in the hearts of the public.
She said: "When people say I'm the new 'nation's sweetheart' I'm like, 'No! That role will always belong to Cheryl!' I've become the nation's little rebel."
Cheryl, who came second in this year's FHM list, topped the poll in 2009 and 2010.
