Tulisa Contostavlos has won a formal apology from former boyfriend MC Ultra, real name Justin Edwards, over the sex tape he distributed online earlier this year.
'He messed with the wrong woman': Lawyers for Tulisa have allegedly banned Justin Edwards from appearing in Celebrity Big Brother
She previously claimed he had 'messed with the wrong woman' after he leaked a sex tape of the former couple earlier this year.
And Tulisa Contostavlos' words will no doubt be ringing true in her ex-boyfriend Justin Edwards' ears after she reportedly banned him from appearing on Celebrity Big Brother.
Lawyers for the 24-year-old X Factor judge are believed to have stepped in after Channel 5 bosses targeted the DJ to feature in the upcoming series of the fly-on-the-wall show, which hits screens next month.
After rumours about his participation reached the singer's legal team, they allegedly contacted production company Endemol and informed them MC Ultra was not legally allowed to take part.
This comes after the 28-year-old rapper signed an agreement earlier this year, which banned him from appearing in any reality shows and effectively gagged him from speaking any more about his relationship with Tulisa.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: 'Producers wanted Justin to take part in Celebrity Big Brother because of the publicity he would bring.'
However, a spokesperson for the star has claimed reality television is 'not something he would want to do' anyway.
Tulisa and Justin settled their legal dispute in July after the rapper admitted responsibility for leaking a sex tape of the pair from a number of years ago online, and publicly apologised to his ex-girlfriend.
The star said at the time: 'This time, Justin messed with the wrong woman. I am relieved that this is finally over. It has been a very testing few months and this was not a case I ever wanted to go through.

'Justin Edwards' actions were to spite me, make money and ruin my career. He has succeeded in none of these things.

'I stand here today a stronger, wiser young woman who has taken this experience and learnt from it.
'I am disgusted by Justin and saddened by the people that believed I released the footage myself. Today the truth has prevailed. After months of lying to the public and lying in court, Justin has finally admitted to being guilty and I hope justice is served.'

Tulisa - who is now dating Newcastle United footballer Danny Simpson - won a High Court order in March banning publication of footage showing her 'engaged in a sexual act'.
The couple had been in a relationship in their teens which ended in 2009.
X Factor star Rylan Clark, US reality stars Heidi and Spencer Pratt and Steps singer Claire Richards are among those rumoured to be entering the Celebrity Big Brother house when the new series kicks off next month.
