Little Mix have confirmed that they are still in touch with their X Factor mentor Tulisa Contostavlos.

The band became the first ever female group winners of the TV talent show back in late 2011 after Tulisa helped guide them through the process.

As Little Mix's stock rises it could be assumed that the group and Tulisa drift apart, but it seems anything but.

The Sun quotes member Jade Thirlwall as saying that they recently visited the X Factor judge and enjoyed some roast dinner together. She said:

"Tulisa's roast is the best roast dinner in the world."

Thirlwall continued: "We didn't end up eating it until midnight though because it took so long to cook."
