    Talking exclusively omg! Tulisa revealed that she has a few surprises up her sleeve that we can look forward to when the live shows kick off.

    She told us at Vodafone's London Fashion Weekend: "When I do fashion I do it to excess, to impress and I like being rebellious and I like causing a shock so there's definitely going to be some surprises in there that you can look forward to."

    "I like to have fun as well. I remember in Halloween week I was like 'I wanna dress up'"

    Well we were definitely surprised when Tulisa donned a leather cat suit on last year's X Factor Halloween show that's for sure.

    Tulisa also talked about dressing her acts for the shows, admitting that she prefers to leave it up to them.

    She said: "With my acts I'm about what they like because I so believe it's about expressing yourself. I let them take the reins."

    Tulisa does admit however that she has only recently become more fashion focused since joining the X Factor.

    She explained: "Fashion is something that only became important to me since I joined X Factor and in the past year even more so. This is all quite new for me. X Factor is the time and the place for glam."

    "It's amazing dressing up in these beautiful dresses that I would never have been able to do with N-Dubz because it just wouldn't have looked right. I wouldn't have fitted in with the lads."

    Fellow judge Nicole Scherzinger told us this week that we can expect to see her wearing 'dope s***' on the live shows.

    Round one of the fashion off starts tonight on ITV1 at 8pm.
