Tulisa on X Factor guest judge Mel B: "She's a real tough cookie just like me"

Solo star and N-Dubz member Tulisa Contostavlos has revealed that she sees some of her own personality in X Factor guest judge Mel B.

Speaking at The X Factor press conference earlier today (August 16), the 'Young' hitmaker explained that the Spice Girl appears on the new series of the vocal talent show as a guest panelist and she likes her "tough" approach:

"The person who reminds me a bit of myself, and in that sense I really get along with, is Mel B. She's a real tough cookie just like me, I find it hard to be really cut-throat with people so when you have someone like Mel around it's great because she just says it exactly how it is and doesn't cut any corners."

The forthcoming new season of The X Factor is due to begin this weekend and will be shown on Saturday, August 18.
