Tulisa had been hoping she'd put the whole sex tape debacle behind her.

But the X Factor judge was left angry and embarrassed when a contestant at the Glasgow auditions for the show made a joke about the intimate seven minute video yesterday.

When Louis, Gary, Tulisa and guest judge Anastasia were left baffled by 37-year-old Paul Ellard's on stage dancing, he quipped: "This is like something you’d see in one of your videos Tulisa."

Unimpressed by his comment, the judge retorted: "Well, already it’s a massive ‘No’ from me."

He then proceeded to perform The Darkness' I Believe In A Thing Called Love for the panel.

But Tulisa wasn't swayed by his vocal talents either, telling him: "You’ve already peed me off. You’re not as good as you think you are. I didn’t appreciate your earlier comments. You’re act is dated."

Paul was quick to backtrack on his earlier comment, fearing he'd blown his chances.

"I meant one of her pop videos, she dances like that in her pop videos," he insisted.

Guest judge Anastacia spoke up in defence of Tulisa, telling the hopeful: "You shouldn’t talk about Tulisa like that."

You tell him sister!
