The co-star of the leaked Tulisa Contostavlos sex tape has admitted that he has received death threats since the video surfaced online.

MC Ultra - aka Justin Edwards - confirmed his role in the tape but denies leaking it on the internet.

Speaking to Loaded, Edwards said that he has received death threats online, lamenting people for "making assumptions" about what happened. He said:

"I had millions of little 12-year-olds sending me death threats on Twitter. A lot of people made assumptions about what happened and why. Her fans have been destroying me. Some of them are like, 'Go and die'."

Edwards added that his life has been "hellish" since the tape leak - not only for him but for his family too. He said:

"It's been a hellish time having the world turn against you, it's not been nice for me and my family. I went on Twitter and wrote, 'All this fuss over something so little'."
