X Factor's Tulisa Contostavlos has revealed that she is excited that her act 2 Shoes have been given a chance to return to the contest. 

The N-Dubz star told BANG Showbiz that the Essex duo's return would be just what the contest needs now that livewire Frankie Cocozza has quit and well-loved singer Johnny has been eliminated:

"Bring back 2 Shoes! I feel that now Johnny has gone, the fun factor of the show is missing. They never got to show off what they can really do and I really think they could bring something different to the show. It needs it right now, considering the mood. I want them to come up and spice things up."

Contostavlos, who mentored the 2 Shoes girls, added: "The truth is I never wanted to get rid of my girls in the first place, I just unfortunately had to make a decision which meant they left. I've messaged the girls on BBM and they replied instantly saying, 'OMG, OMG, totes amaze!'"
