Tulisa Contostavlos has said she'd give up all her fame and money to find love. The X Factor judge - who split from Skins star Jack O'Connell in June after dating for three months, and won an apology in the High Court from ex Justin Edwards after he admitted leaking her sex tape on the internet - told Look magazine she feels like a robot because her life is all about work. Tulisa, 24, said: "Everything goes great in my career, but my personal life has just been s***. Fame and money - I don't give a c*** about all that stuff. "I'm not unhappy in the sense that I'm suffering from depression, but I'm pretty numb at the minute. I just see myself in work mode, I'm like a robot: go in, work, go home. Autopilot." But former N-Dubz star - who was voted FHM's sexiest woman earlier this year - is happy with style and refuses to change her image. Tulisa said: "I like to dress up, look glam and do shoots like this. I'm always going to be a hood chick. I like street clothes. "I'm comfortable in my skin, it just p***es me off that other people won't accept it." She joked: "You can see from the curves that I'm not working out - it's just jelly! I swear on my mum's life, I've never done a day's exercise."
