The Sun reports that Contostavlos has said: "I'm a lot more religious now.
"I kind of stopped believing in God but as I got older I found my faith again - and with that has come morals."
She added: "My naughty days are firmly in the past."
N-Dubz bandmate Dappy spoke about Contostavlos's religious beliefs last year, commenting: "She's very religious. I think she'll pray before every one of the live X Factor shows."
The 'Young' singer has previously admitted to losing her virginity at the age of 14 and taking drugs when young.
She recently topped FHM's '100 Sexiest Women in the World' list, with X Factor predecessor Cheryl Cole coming in second.

How convenient for her. I respected her when she came out and said it was her giving a blow job in the video, but now to try and clense herself by the "finding God" cliche' is annoying. Its like all the prisoners who commit terrible crimes and cant deal with the guilt. Suddenly, they "find God" and wow, they can then move on. Its insincere, its selfish and it allows people to forget the terrible choices they made. Be a real person and accept what you have done.

Dazza Stewart Then leave comments like that on articles where she actually mentions it, not ones where she doesn't.

David James Caldwell As I said, she need to shut up about it... in all forms! This article would be here if there was no mention of the tape from her or her people! She has been quoted countless times that she is ashamed blah blah blah... So hence my comment, she needs to SHUT UP about it FULL STOP!! Its all for publicity...

If you bothered to read the article (properly), you'd see that not once does SHE mention the tape.
