Tulisa Contostavlos' new man has been revealed as Skins star Jack O'connell.

Jack, who plays bad boy James Cook in the drama, has won over the X Factor judge after a handful of dates, including a night out clubbing at Aura in Mayfair last week.

They were introduced by Tulisa's personal assistant Gareth Varey and hit it off instantly.

A source told The Mirror: "It's early days but Jack is very much Tulisa's type - edgy and cool. He's a really funny guy and makes her laugh a lot.

"They have quite a few mutual friends. It's been a smooth transition from mates to something more."

Tulisa hinted about her new boyfriend when she took to Twitter on Sunday to blast reports she had a holiday fling with former The Only Way is Essex hunk Mark Wright.

She wrote: "Guess what... I am seeing some1!! Cus I'm a bloody human being! & it gets better!... He is not Mark Wright! & 4 the record Mark is not my type & nor me his... (I) like my men a bit ruff around the edges!"

Jack used to date his Skins co-star Kaya Scodelario, while Tulisa split from her N-Dubz bandmate Richard 'Fazer' Rawson in January.
