Livin' it up in Liverpool: Tulisa shrugs off X Factor axe rumours as she takes to the stage in a little black dress
|
Her future as an X Factor judge is uncertain following weeks of speculation she has been axed from the talent show.
However, Tulisa has been ignoring the reports around her judging role as she focuses on her 'day job' - being a pop star.
The singer, 24, slipped into a little black dress as she warmed up the crowd ahead of American R&B star Ne-Yo's concert at the Liverpool Echo Arena on Friday night.

Wearing the short sequinned number, the North Londoner performed her hits including Young and Live It Up.
Tulisa is the support act for Ne-Yo's UK and Ireland tour this month, including gigs at Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, London and Dublin.
Her gigs comes as there is continuing uncertainty around Tulisa's future on the ITV talent show after two series.

She had a meeting with X Factor producer Richard Holloway two weeks ago, the Mail's Dan Wootton reported recently.
A source told the Mail: 'She’s realistic that she might not be back but Richard was very positive about her and said no final decisions had been made.’

Meanwhile, the Ne-Yo took time out of his tour last night to perform an intimate gig in London on Thursday night.
During his Mastercard Priceless gig in front of just 300 fans, the 33-year-old revealed his new talent discovery - London singer/songwriter Sonna Rele.
The three-time Grammy Award winner and Senior Vice President of A&R Universal Motown Records has signed the unknown star after hearing her music on Facebook.

Presenting Sonna on stage on Thursday, he enthused: 'This is my first international signing and I am so hyped that it is Sonna. I fell in love with her the first time I saw one of her 'Music Monday' videos on Facebook and I know she’s going to be big. Her sound and style is so beautiful and unique.'
Ne-Yo's gig was part of the Mastercard Priceless experience, which gives fans the chance to see their idols in an intimate environment.
