MC Ultra, the man named as the other party in a sex tape involving X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos, has claimed in court that it was her idea to film the video.

Tulisa's ex-boyfriend - real name Justin Edwards - said in a statement at the High Court in London that he regrets allowing Tulisa to "persuade" him to film. He said:

"I am disgusted it has been, and regret ever allowing the claimant to persuade me that we should film ourselves."

He claimed that he would never have leaked the video "simply because I would find it ungentlemanly. I was brought up better than that."

Speaking outside the court, Edwards told The Sun that he is looking to move on in his life. He said:

"I'm just relieved to have a chance to tell my side of the story. It can't happen soon enough. I've had to move out of my home and it's been a nightmare for my family. I just want this sorted out so I can move on with my life."
