Little Mix have admitted that seeing Tulisa Contostavlos on the X Factor with other contestants will feel like they're being cheated on.

The quartet rose through the ranks on the 2011 series of the TV talent show with Tulisa as their mentor, eventually becoming the first ever group winner on the programme.

The new series of the show begins on Saturday (August 18) and Little Mix told Capital FM that it will be odd watching it on TV.

Jade Thirlwall said that it will be "really weird" seeing their mentor tutor other singers, but she added that they'll be supporting her team anyway. She said:

"It's going to be really weird, she's ours and now she's going to be going off with someone else – I feel like she's cheating on us."

She added: "It's Team Tulisa all the way so we're going to support every act that she has - so bring it on."
