Tulisa 'splits from boyfriend'

Tulisa Contostavlos has reportedly split from boyfriend Jack O'Connell.

The relationship between the 'Young' singer - who began dating the 'Skins' actor three months ago - is said to have broken up when she went to visit him in Bulgaria.

The parting has been blamed on their hectic work schedules and the fact he will be in eastern Europe until winter because of filming commitments.

A source told Daily Mirror newspaper: "Jack is filming the new '300' sequel in eastern Europe and will be there until November.

"He isn't able to travel to the UK at all, as filming schedules are so tight. This meant Tulisa was flying backwards and forwards to Bulgaria - as well as fulfilling for her 'X Factor' duties.

"A long-distance relationship just wasn't working so the pair sat down together over dinner and talked it through like adults. It was a fairly mutual decision and although she's really sad to split from Jack, she knows it is for the best."

Contostavlos began dating O'Connell following the end of her year-and-a half relationship with N-Dubz bandmate Fazer earlier this year.

While with the 21-year-old actor, Contostavlos had to deal with an embarrassing sex tape scandal.

A clip appeared on the internet which showed her with her ex-boyfriend Justin Edwards.
