The 'Young' singer says it was a "mutual decision" to call time on the couple's relationship.

Tulisa Contostavlos has confirmed that she has split up with her boyfriend Jack O'Connell.

The N-Dubz star took to her Twitter account to address the reports which circulated online today (19th June) to explain that she never "dumped" the Skins star and that the decision was "mutual".

"4 the record I didn't dump any1, it was a mutual decision with no hard feelings n that's all there is 2 it," she tweeted.

The Daily Mirror reported the news first today highlighting the pair's work commitments as a reason for the break-up.

A source told the publication: "Jack is filming the new 300 sequel in eastern Europe and will be there until November. They added: "He isn't able to travel to the UK at all, as filming schedules are so tight.

"This meant Tulisa was flying backwards and forwards to Bulgaria – as well as fulfilling for her X Factor duties".

They continued: "A long-distance relationship just wasn't working so the pair sat down together over dinner, and talked it through like adults. It was a fairly mutual decision and although she's really sad to split from Jack, she knows it is for the best."

The FHM Sexiest Woman In The World is currently working on the new series of The X Factor and was joined by new permanent judge Nicole Scherzinger this week for the latest round of auditions in Newcastle.
