X FACTOR judge Tulisa Contostavlos bemoaned the “bloody British weather” as the heavens opened during her V Festival performance.

The singer, who returned to screens on Saturday night in the TV talent contest, appeared on the main stage at Hylands Park in Chelmsford, Essex, yesterday, just as heavy rain began to fall.

The N-Dubz singer wore a pink short-sleeved jacket, polka dot corset and patterned trousers as she performed solo material, including her new single Live It Up.

As lightning struck, Tulisa
– who played the split-site’s sister venue in Weston Park, 
Staffordshire on Saturday – told fans: “Look at this bloody British weather.”

The sun returned by the end of Tulisa’s set, however, as revellers enjoyed a second day at the Virgin Media-sponsored festival.
