Kelly Rowland to settle bully gate issue with Tulisa

 Kelly Rowland is to hold “clear the air” talks with her fellow X Factor judge Tulisa Conostavlos.

The mentors have reportedly fallen out following bullying comments made by Contostavlos’s  about Rowland’s act Misha Byran on Saturday’s show.

“Kelly has made it her top priority to track down Tulisa and sort this mess out as soon as she lands on Thursday,” a source told Metro. “It’s the first thing she plans to do.

“They haven’t spoken since last week but Kelly is determined not to return to the panel this weekend without having spoken to Tulisa in private. She desperately wants to clear the air and avoid another live row.”

Regarding  claims that Rowland had abandoned her acts by jetting off to the US this week, the source added: “Kelly had always planned to return to LA this week. The trip was in the diary well before she even started The X Factor.

“This has nothing to do with storming off and getting away from it all. The girls always knew Kelly would be away this week.”
