N-Dubz star Dappy has threatened to invade the X Factor stage if judge Tulisa Contostavlos continues to receive abuse from contestants.

The 'Spaceship' singer's bandmate and cousin has repeatedly come under fire during the opening rounds of the ITV contest, but Dappy publicly warned today that anyone looking to cause trouble at the live stages would have to answer to him.

"I'll definitely be getting tickets to the show but I can't be watching *anyone talking badly to Tulisa otherwise I'll be running on to that stage," he told The Sunday Mirror.

As hilarious as that sounds, I doubt Tulisa would thank him for it
