Tulisa Contostavlos likes a feisty man it would seem.

The X factor judge admitted in a recent interview that she likes strong and domineering men, that tell her what to do and make their feelings known to her.

The blonde beauty doesn’t like ‘nice’ guys, who pussy foot around her and buy her flowers every day but says she prefers her boyfriend to have a determined mind and to know what he wants.

‘I personally like domineering men,’ she told Radio City Live in Liverpool after a recent gig, adding:

‘It’s probably because I’m so dominating, I need a dominating guy.

Tulisa has also admitted that the best selling novel Fifty Shades Of Grey failed to boost her sex life. The erotic novel by E. L. James traces the deepening relationship between a college graduate, Anastasia Steele, and a young business man, Christian Grey. It is renowned for it’s erotic scenes featuring elements bondage, dominance and sadism.

However, the ‘Young’ hitmaker says it didn’t have a massive impact on her life and explained:

‘It didn’t improve my love life.’

‘Maybe my imagination, but that’s about it.’

‘I was probably one of the first people to get on the 50 Shades Of Grey hype. I started reading it and I became obsessed, and I think I told everyone and anyone about it.

‘And now it’s spread like wildfire.’

Tulisa is currently in LA, working on some tracks for her debut solo album. She will return to our TV screens later this month when The X Factor returns for it’s 2012 series.

The judges have already recorded the auditions and bootcamp and will next tape their judges houses round.
