Tulisa with her group Little Mix
Tulisa has been named as the most magical celebrity in a survey of young children.
But the singer and X Factor judge only made it to the third spot in the poll of the most magical people in kids' lives - mum and dad came out top.
One Direction and JLS came fourth and fifth in the magical poll, showing that boy bands are in hot favour, while Kelly Rowland was next in line at 6th place.
All from the X-Factor, it shows that the popular family show has a big influence on who kids’ favourite celebrities are.
The survey was conducted amongst 1,000 four to 16 year old children in the UK on behalf of the magical Lite Sprites toys.
It also revealed that 40 per cent of children in the UK think fairies, sprites or people with magical powers have existed at some point in time, while only 15 per cent think Santa was ever real. This is despite Santa Claus being based on a real-life 4th-century saint, Saint Nicholas, who had a reputation for secret gift-giving.
Susanne Remic, mum of two, primary school teacher, freelance writer and parenting blogger comments:
“It doesn’t surprise me that the survey has discovered children are more inspired and delighted by fairies and magic than they are by Santa Claus.”
“When I asked my daughter about fairies and magic, she instantly remembered a story we had told her about the fairies which live in our garden. These are our family fairies and she knows that she has her own magical fairy who is constantly looking out for her and helping her through difficult tasks in her life."
