Tulisa Contostavlos has had a bit of a rough ride after getting caught up in THAT drugs scandal but she snuck back into our hearts by showing her softer side in the BBC Three show documenting life after her arrest and by emerging from the sea looking like some sort of Goddess on this weekend’s X Factor.

So we’re rather chuffed the former N-Dubz star had found happiness – the singer has been on a number of dates multi-millionaire playboy Costas Panayiotou, the son of one of property tycoon Andreas Panayiotou who’s worth a whopping £400million.

However, if you’re a fan of Tulisa, don’t get too excited because the romance is already over.

A source told the Sunday Mirror: “They really hit it off. They have a lot in common and share several friends and interests, as well as a Greek-Cypriot background. Costas is a bit younger but that doesn’t seem to matter. It’s exciting. They’ve had a great time.”

The pair met after former X Factor judge Tulisa’s drugs trial collapsed earlier this year.

However, the star may have chosen to cool the relationship – Costas is serving a 15-month suspended sentence after he and his brother George were found guilty of beating up a policeman whilst on a night out.

Better luck next time, Tulisa!
