N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos has admitted that she is “really nervous” about replacing Cheryl Cole as a judge on UK version of The X Factor.

“I’m really nervous. I’ve had mixed emotions this week. I feel pressure,” she told Heart magazine

Despite Tulisa’s nerves, the singer made it clear in the interview she isn’t trying to compete with any of the show’s past judges; "I don't feel like I'm stepping into anyone's shoes because I could never be Cheryl or Dannii."

Tulisa also made it clear that she feels she has earned her place on the judging panel, adding “I’m involved in the writing, producing and singing, so it’s not like I’ve had a couple of hits and that’s it.”
