It's been a turbulent few months for Tulisa Contostavlos. But the star is ready to step back into the spotlight with a return to The X Factor. This week, the former X Factor judge was spotted filming scenes in Bermuda, where Louis Walsh is currently holding the Judges' Houses stage of the competition. Wearing a white bikini, the star looked healthy and happy surrounded by members of the crew.

I totally support her. I spent so much time in her dressing room, I know who the real Tulisa is," he told the Sunday People. "She's rough around the edges but she's a good girl. I like her.
I definitely would have her at Judges' Houses. She'll bounce back.

At the time, Simon Cowell also spoke out in support of the star. "Tulisa's been through a tough time and has come through it," said the X Factor boss. "I think she deserves a break now. I think she's got a lot of opportunities ahead of her."
