She's been rocked ever since a sex tape featuring her hit the internet last week and now Tulisa Contostavlos is stepping up her game to ensure the video is prohibited from being disclosed further.

The singer's ex-lover, wannabe rap star Justin Edwards, turned up to London's High Court earlier today.

He is there to defend himself as Tulisa has filed to extend her emergency injunction.

Now Edwards has had to face up to the accusations as he turned up to court wearing a black suit and shirt this morning.

He was escorted through the doors as he donned shades to shield him from the sun outside as he prepared to have Tulisa's application to have the injunction heard.

The X Factor judge's lawyers made the move rather quickly once news of the tape had spread.

Taking it further: Tulisa Contostavlos is said to be suing Justin Edwards for £100,000 over the leaked sex tape

The injunction prohibits anyone from using, publishing or communicating or disclosing to any other person... all or any part of the film.

But now Tulisa wants the injunction extended.

And while he has vehemently denied he leaked the footage, the 23-year-old N-Dubz star has also reportedly made moves to sue Edwards, whose stage name is MC Ultra, for sharing the footage.

Earlier this week ,The Sun reported the singer has called in her lawyers to seek damages for up to £100,000.

Legal papers were apparently served at a house in West Hampstead, North London, where Edwards mother lives.

However, the 28-year-old, who goes by the name MC Ultra wasn't there at the time and is said to be hiding out in the West Country since the video was up for sale online for £3.90 on Monday.

A source close to Edwards told the newspaper: 'She's suing for up to £100,000. This latest move by Tulisa has really unnerved and unsettled him. It's serious stuff and he's got to take it seriously. It's a lot of pressure for him.'

Tulisa opened up about the video last week, when she posted a video online and opened up to her fans about her devastation over the leak.

But despite the London-born star owning up to being the female in the footage, one person who is still shocked by the whole situation is Tulisa's stepmother Melanie Vondrau.

The 39-year-old, was married to the star's father Plato for ten years up until 2009, claims that her 'heart just broke' when she heard the news.

'A young girl who respects herself would choose her partner very wisely,' she told The Sun. 'She is clearly not making the right partner choices.

The housewife went on to say that she thinks Tulisa's broken home is to blame for her choice of men.

'She needs strong, loving parental guidance. Unfortunately for Tulisa, her mum is not very well and she has got a father who is a distant character.

'I feel she is a victim of her childhood - the classic little girl who wants her father's love.'

These latest comments will no doubt add to the singer's difficult week after her fans took to Twitter to accuse her orchestrating the scenario to grab their attention.

Just days after the sex tape was leaked online, the singer released a rather suggestive video for her debut single We Are Young.

As she sings the catchy lyrics, including 'forgive me for what I have done', Tulisa can be seen licking up ice cream with her tongue.

Fun times: The singer can be seen in the video having a party and getting up to mischief with her friends

The single has been getting mixed reviews, and some fans have spoken out about the timing of her Youtube video.

The song features some hard partying antics from Tulisa and opens with the line: 'Forgive me for what I have done, cos I'm young, yeah I'm young.

'I don't mean to frighten you off, it's just fun, it's just fun.'

After We Are Young was played on Radio One by Chris Moyles, one fan wrote: 'Is it just coincidence that the Tulisa video ''scandal'' is the same week she is publicising her debut single?'

Another person said: 'Waitttt, tulisa's clip gets leaked 2 days before she releases her first single #publicitystunt'.

We Are Young is an electro pop song produced by Tulisa's ex-boyfriend and band mate Richard 'Fazer' Rawson.

The female boss: Tulisa filmed the video last month in Miami, Florida, and the song has been produced by Richard 'Fazer' Rawson

It has been compared in sound to the Rihanna and Calvin Harris hit We Found Love, and the video, which was shot in Miami, last month, shows several sides to the singer.

The single is all about being young and making mistakes that you can learn from, and features some poignant lyrics.

The north London-born star sings: 'I'll make mistake that I learn from cos I'm young. yeah I'm young.

'I'm sorry I'm not even done, cos I'm young yeah I'm young.

'Don't worry bout what I'll become, it's just fun, it's just fun.'
