Tulisa Contostavlos’ new autobiography is called Honest, and that’s just what she’s been while talking about two of this year’s X Factor contestants.

The X Factor judge has said she supports the campaign to bring back axed X Factor hopeful Joseph Whelan and has also revealed that she wanted him to stay in the competition.

Speaking about the 'Get Joseph Whelan back onto the X Factor' page on Facebook – which has over 220,000 fans – Tulisa told The Huffington Post,

“I have no idea what the likelihood of that happening is, but I can say everyone wants a bit of eye candy every year and a nice male figure.”

“All of the judges have different opinions. Sometimes it's not unanimous and everyone is making different decisions. From the get go I wanted him in the competition,” she contined.

“I think he's gorgeous but I was battled with on that one. I am actually a Joseph fan so ‘hey, bring back Joseph.’ If it was up to me he would still be in it.”

Tulisa tips James Arthur for the win!

While it looks unlikely that Joseph will make it back on to The X Factor, Tulisa has tipped someone to win the show.

Diplomatically picking an act not in her girls category, Tulisa reckon that James Arthur has the potential to go all the way,

“I'll tell you someone that isn't in my category, I absolutely love James Arthur. He's amazing,” she said.

“I think he's got an amazing voice. I think he's going to go so far in the competition – even a potential winner.”
