She had covered up slightly earlier in a pretty summer dress as she tries to quash gossip following her leaked sex tape.

But it was back to her racy best for Tulisa Contostavlos last night.

The X Factor judge donned the tightest and shortest dress possible during a date with her new man, Skins actor Jack O'Connell.

The 23-year-old walked two paces behind her boyfriend as they left Hakkasan restaurant in Mayfair.

She was obviously not worried about courting attention in the red strapless number which showed off her cleavage and her bronzed legs.

The singer paired the dress with black, peep-toe Christina Louboutin heels, silver hoop earrings and a black leather jacket, with her long brunette locks pulled back in a ponytail.

Not worried about attracting attention then? The N-Dubz star went for maximum exposure with her cleavage and bronzed legs on display

Jack was more dressed down in a long-sleeved shirt and dark jeans.

The pair left in a taxi together about 12.30am after the late-night dinner date.

Jack seems unfazed by Tulisa's current escapades and is remaining by her side.

It seems unlikely he is using her for notoriety though, with his own career about to take off due to his own merits.

While the former Skins star isn't quite a household name yet, he has an ever-growing list of future projects in the pipeline.

O'Connell will soon be seen in Tower Block alongside Sheridan Smith and Rusell Tovey, as well as supernatural drama Beautiful Creatures with Viola Davis and Jeremy Irons.

Yesterday, Tulisa did her best Disney star impression as she joined Jack on a shopping trip..

Looking every inch the squeaky clean pop princess, she stepped out in white sneakers and a cutesy multi-coloured dress that looked more Selena Gomez than N-Dubber.

However, the reality is starkly different for the Camden-born singer who hit the headlines this month for all the wrong reasons.

Tulisa is currently embroiled in a rather embarrassing court case after she accused her former flame Justin Edwards - otherwise known as MC Ultra - releasing an old sex tape of them.

To add insult to injury, a shop in Soho is now claiming to sell copies of the footage for a mere 5, despite her lawyers seeking an injunction to prohibit anyone from publishing or disclosing the video.

But never one to shy away from controversy, Tulisa has been carrying on with business as usual.

This week, the Young singer joined the likes of Rihanna and JLS as she attended the Drake concert at the O2 Arena.

What a stroke of luck, a sex tape released in advance of her debut solo single.................

Wonder what was on the menu?.....

For a new couple they look utterly miserable together.

Looking like the kind of girl whom I would give a wide berth on a night out.

Unfortunately no matter what this stunning girl wears she never manages to pull off classy

He looks about 14!

Chavtastic.

It will be pretty awful for her kids, if she chooses to have them, when they or their classmates find her se x tape on the internet.

This paper is vile

I don't think he's going to like all this attention
