Is Tulisa a secret N'Chubz?

Feisty urban star and X Factor judge Tulisa doesn't seem like the kind of woman to choose practical underwear.

But on Saturday's show the brunette needed a little help to squeeze in to her spangled, skintight Jovani dress.

24-year-old Tulisa chose a £72 High-Waist Half Slip from the famous Spanx shapwear range to give her body a boost as she stood next to glamour puss judge Nicole Scherzinger.

The female judges have been waging a wardrobe battle each weekend as they vye for best-dressed in show.

This weekend Tulisa won a thumbs up from the fashion press for her heavily embellished lilac Jovani mini-dress while Pussycat Doll Nicole, 34, chose a ruffled leather cocktail dress by Emma Scervino.

He's his own biggest fan!

It's normally down to the public to vote for their favourite X Factor contestant, but this year one of the hopeful's has taken matters into their own hands.

Christopher Maloney, 39, has admitted that he votes for himself every week and would do so even more if he had more credit on his phone.

Speaking about the rumours, the Liverpudlian admitted: 'I have voted for myself a few times.

      'So has everyone else – I doubt my calls have made much of a difference...If I had more credit on my phone I’d vote more.'

However, it's not just Christopher who has admitted to the calling and texting, but also behind-the-scenes staff too.

SPOILER ALERT

He's endured more than his fair share of heartache due to his wife's cheating ways, but it seems that Alfie Moon is no longer willing to forgive her.

Instead, the EastEnders nice guy may have finally moved on if the latest on set pictures are anything to go by.

Alfie, played by Shane Richie, was spotted holding hands with fellow Albert Square resident Roxy Mitchell, who is played by Rita Simons, as they filmed upcoming scenes for the BBC1 soap.

Perhaps the two characters finally decide to be more than just friends, following Alfie's on-and-off marriage with Kat.
