Tulisa Contostavlos has revealed that her ideal man needs to have "bigger balls" than she does.

The singer, who is resuming her role as an X Factor judge this year, has opened up on what she is looking for in a man.

She told X Factor Insider that she wants a partner with a "massive" set of balls - not physically, that is. Tulisa said:

"I want a man who has a massive pair of balls; not physically but mentally! He needs to have bigger balls than me without feeling the need to prove that he has bigger balls. It's important that he accepts that I have balls too."

The 'Live It Up' star also took time to dismiss rumours that she is a "needy" girlfriend, describing herself as anything but. She added:

"There were stories doing the rounds that implied I was 'needy' in relationships. Me? Needy? Never! I'm an independent lady; I don't chase after guys and constantly call/text them. To suggest I'm a bunny boiler was really insulting as I'm the total opposite. Where boys are concerned, it's usually the other way round."
