With a bitter break up from ex Danny Simpson, a very public drugs controversy and her X Factor axing, it could be said that Tulisa Contostavlos has not had the best of years.
And it seems the 25-year-old star has been letting her hair down to forget her woes with her friends lending a helping hand, or two.

Naughty! Tulisa's friend gets a handful as she playfully gropes the 25-year-old

The singer and former X factor judge was seen being playfully groped by her female friend as she partied in Essex on Saturday.
The London born brunette kicked off her night at 195 club in Epping with a gang of friends and a minder.

She was dressed in a black dress with a slightly exposed midriff covered by a see through mesh panel.
Her skin appeared to be glowing with a tan and she was seen drinking and dancing like she hadn't a care in the world.

The party were seen enjoying drinks in the VIP area alongside Big Brother runner-up Dexter Koh and glamour model Holly Henderson.
Last week, it was revealed that the release of her debut novel Sky has been delayed until further notice.

The news comes just a month before the singer is due to answer police bail, after she was allegedly caught offering to supply drugs to an undercover journalist.
