Misha: Tulisa remarks had an effect on me

'X Factor' judge Tulisa Contostavlos’s remarks about behaviour backstage were partially to blame for Misha Bryan’s exit from the show, the former contestant has said.

The 19-year-old singer praised the judge as “inspirational” and said she had put the comments – when Contostavlos accused Bryan of being “mean”, while fellow judge Louis Walsh suggested she had been a “bully” – behind her.
