The Sexiest Woman In The World, as declared by FHM magazine, Tulisa Contostavlos has revealed the truth about getting Simon Cowell to give her The X factor job.

And before your dirty minds take over, it was actually a T-shirt that got Tulisa on the judging panel.

Tulisa presented ‘one of the vainest men in the world’ with a T-shirt with his own lovely big face on it. She headed out to his home in Los Angeles to give him the gift and he hired her on the spot.

Cheeky

“I was really cheeky. I got him a T-shirt – made sure it was a white V-neck – and I printed a picture of his face on the front and (it) said ‘The Male Boss’ underneath,” Tulisa said on Real Radio North West’s Feel Good Breakfast show.

“And I said ‘as the female boss only I can knight you with this title. So here you go, got you a little present.’ Thought I’d be a little cheeky to get in there!”

“It worked, he gave me the job on the spot so happy days!”

Tulisa made her debut on the show last August and went down a treat, winning the show with her group Little Mix.

The new series of The X Factor

Now, we know for sure that Kelly Rowland won’t be back for this year’s series of the show, but it’s still not 100% clear whether Tulisa will be a judge again.

Maybe she needs to get Simon a face-print baseball cap to seal the deal.

She appeared on Daybreak earlier this week and played dumb when asked if she was definitely returning for the new series of the show, saying: “It looks likely. I know nothing.”

We’ve got a feeling she knows way more than she’s letting on.
