Tulisa Contostavlos and Nicole Scherzinger finished filming the boot camp stage of The X Factor auditions last week

Tulisa Contostavlos has denied that she and Nicole Scherzinger had a spat during auditions for this year's X Factor.

Gary Barlow was reported to have been forced to sit between the two singers on the judging panel because they wouldn't speak to each other - but Tulisa insists this is rubbish.

'Piss off media with all ur me n @NicoleScherzy beef talk! Ur always guna try and make a headline cus uve got nothin good 2 write about...,' Tweets Tulisa, 24.

'We get on fine!Just coz we r different doesnt mean we dont like each other!n if we didnt..believe me,Id let u know #hatebullshit.'

Tulisa, Nicole and Gary, along with 4th judge Louis Walsh, finished filming the boot camp stage of The X Factor on Friday.

Nicole, 34, told her Twitter followers that she was flying back to LA before the live shows begin later this year - but not before cuddling up to Tulisa for a photo.

'And boot camp comes to an end. What a great week! @NicoleScherzy,' Tweeted Tulisa.
