"I just want to thank my fans for all their support - with that support I have won this case. This time, Justin messed with the wrong woman," she said.
"I'm just really happy that the truth is out. It's a fresh start for me today after this, and it's my birthday, and now, of course, I'm off to Ibiza."

Her solicitor, Jonathan Coad, told Mr Justice Tugendhat that the invasion of Miss Contostavlos's privacy "was of the most severe kind imaginable".
"She suffered and continues to suffer very serious distress at this wholly unjustified and unlawful interference with her rights.
"She has been particularly distressed by the wholly untrue allegation made by some that she was in some way complicit with the release of the footage. She was not, as this statement makes clear."

He added that Justin - who is now banned from speaking further about their relationship - was now keen to move on and wished Tulisa well for the future.
