Tulisa looks thrilled to be in LA after she shows off her bronzed legs in denim shorts

She’s only been back in her hometown of London several weeks after her Christmas holiday with now ex-boyfriend Fazer.

But it seems like Tulisa Contostavlos is cashing in on being in sunnier climes for the second one time within the space of a month after arriving in California.

After arriving on in La on Tuesday, the 23-year-old has wasted no time in absorbing the sun in a couple of denim shorts.

Enjoying a gap of shopping together with her PA, the Camden-native showed off her tanned legs within the shorts, ankle boots and a knitted T-shirt.

However, the X Factor’s judge’s cheery outward appearance came just hours after it was claimed her ex-boyfriend Fazer’s demands for marriage and a toddler caused their split after an 18-month relationship.

In response to sources nearly the
couple, Fazer was able to cool down with the brunette and had give
her a ‘marry me or lose me’ ultimatum but she wasn’t convinced he could
be trusted.

Tulisa was said to be especially eager about her N-Dubz bandmate’s relationship with former Made In Chelsea star Chloe Green.

According
to an insider Fazer and Chloe, who met through mutual friends, were
texting one another when the 25-year-old was recently on holiday with
Tulisa.

After Tulisa
confronted him in regards to the Topshop heiress he’s then imagined to have
questioned her commitment to their relationship.

A friend told Closer magazine that Fazer said: ‘I want marriage and a toddler and it sort of feels all you wish is fame!’

The
insider told the publication: ‘He told her if she wasn’t prepared to
decide to starting a family, she couldn’t tell him who he could or
couldn’t speak to.’

Fazer, real name Richard Rawson, can be said to have asked the chart topper to quit her role on X Factor.

A
source told heat magazine: ‘He told her that he thinks she should quit
the X Factor, and that she’d changed. It really cut through Tulisa and
she began to cry.’

Earlier this week, Tulisa confirmed that she will be able to be releasing a solo single within the following few months.

With her group N-Dubz on hiatus and her recent split from Fazer, it is the perfect time for Tulisa.

She told London radio station Capital FM: ‘I’ve got my single ready now to release. i will be shooting a video soon.

‘Haven’t got a hard and fast date but I’d say in the next two months definitely.’

And
despite singing urban songs along with her N-Dubz band-mates Fazer and
Costadinos ‘Dappy’ Contostavlos, Tulisa’s solo sound may be a bit
different.
