It appears this is Tulisa’s mantra when it comes to getting her old job back on The X Factor.

The 26-year-old has been spotted out and about with former boss Simon Cowell’s partner Lauren Silverman – and sources reckon it’s the perfect in for Tulisa.

According to reports, the former N-Dubz singer and Lauren, 37, recently had lunch together before hitting Victoria Beckham’s store on Dover Street for a bit of retail therapy.

“Lauren is a powerful ally when it comes to influencing Simon’s decision,” an insider told the Daily Star.

“Lauren’s really clicked with Tulisa. They have a lot of fun together. And Simon approves of their friendship as he’s fond of Tulisa too.”

She filled in for Mel B during last year's final

Tulisa previously appeared a judge during the eighth and ninth series of The X Factor from 2011-2013, mentoring Little Mix to become the first group to ever win the competition.

Last year she returned to the show to help Louis Walsh, 62, select his acts at judges houses, and filled in for Mel B, 40, when she was taken ill during the final.
