Gary Barlow has apologised to fellow X Factor judge Tulisa after an altercation on Saturday's show in which he referred to her 'fag ash breath'.

The Take That singer drew gasps from the audience as he made the swipe at Tulisa on Saturday night, after she had accused him of allowing Chris Maloney to 'destroy' a string of 80s hits.

'I don't know what's offended me more,' he told Tulisa after her comments, 'what you said or the fag ash breath.'

A clearly shocked Tulisa hit back by saying, 'You'd better lay off that red wine Gary, I can smell it from here.'

However, Barlow later used his appearance on The Xtra Factor to say sorry to the N-Dubz star.

'Can I apologise to Tulisa,' he said. 'I mean it. You have the freedom to be as personal as you like for the rest of the series - insult me.'

He also admitted that he had had 'a little sip' of red wine in his dressing room before the show went on air.

Although Tulisa did not accept the apology on air, she did let slip that Barlow had previously admitted to loving the smell of cigarette smoke.

'I'm going to tell you a little story,' she said, 'when we were in the auditions I asked Gary if he smelled of smoke. He said, "I love the smell of cigarettes, it reminds me of when I used to smoke".

The pair will return to the judging panel on Sunday night where Tulisa is tipped to lose one of her acts, with Jade Ellis being the favourite for elimination.

Gary has already lost two of his acts - Melanie Masson and Carolynne Poole - and narrowly avoided losing Kye Sones last weekend after he scraped through the sing-off that saw MK1 sent home.
