The ex-boyfriend of 'Young' beauty Tulisa Contostavlos has admitted to leaking the sex tape that circulated the internet earlier this year.

MC Ultra, real name Justin Edwards, finally confessed that he was responsible for the publication of the controversial clip and during a hearing at the High Court today (July 9), Edwards' barrister Jacob Dean explained:

"Mr Edwards has admitted responsibility for publication of the video, apologised for it, and promised not to do it again."

An official statement will be read out by Tulisa's lawyer Jonathan Coad in court on Thursday (July 12) and he is also set to provide details of the case's proposed settlement.
