Louis Walsh and Tulisa are "getting on like a house on fire"

X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos has told New! magazine that she's in love with Louis Walsh.

Despite also being joined on the judging panel by Gary Barlow and Kelly Rowland, she gushed, "I'm getting on mostly with Louis Walsh. He's my best friend, my new BFF — I love him".

She continues: "Just from the minute I met him I clicked so well with him and, you know, he under­stands my humour and I don't think he expected me to be the way I am. He even told me he thought we wouldn't get on as well as we do but we do and it's brilliant, I love it."

Although she has admitted to initially feeling nervous when she first took on the X Factor judging role, Tulisa seems to be settling in well, with Walsh stating that the former member of N‑Dubz is doing a "great job".
