By KIRSTY MCCORMACK



Proper mentor: Gary Barlow and Kelly Rowland were absent from the fun tonight as Tulisa Contostavlos enjoyed the company of the remaining contestants



Whilst Kelly Rowland may have ditched her acts, it seems Tulisa Contostavlos can't get enough of socialising with hers.

The X Factor judge was spotted having a great time with her remaining group, Little Mix, as they enjoyed the rides at Winter Wonderland in London's Hyde Park last night.

But the girls weren't alone as male contestant, Marcus Collins, was also enjoying the dodgems with the group as well as pink-haired Amelia Lily and Misha B.

Having a laugh: (L-R) Jesy Nelson, Tulisa and Leigh-Anne Pinnock wrapped up warm as they tested out the theme park rides in Hyde Park



The hopefuls were obviously taking a much-needed break as they rehearse for this weekend's quarter finals.

N-Dubz star Tulisa looked really pleased to be spending some quality time with the young girls and wore blue denim jeans with black knee high boots as she prepared herself for the theme park rides.

But she wasn't alone in wrapping up last night as Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall all wore gloves and scarfs.



Steering a penguin: Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall were laughing as they rode the dodgems.



Just the two of us: Jesy and Leigh-Anne were followed by fans with camera phones whilst on the dodgems



Scream if you wanna go faster: Amelia Lily and Misha B enjoyed the rides



Jesy wore a pair of denim jeggings with a pair of Dr Martens and patterned mittens.

Leigh-Anne also wore denim and kept warm in a white fluffy jacket and yellow scarf whilst Perrie opted for a leopard-print one which she wore with a black leather jacket.

Jade braved the cold by not wearing a jacket but she did have on a chunky bobble jumper and a bright pink body warmer.



Hold on tight! Misha holds on for dear life while Amelia and Marcus messed around



Enjoying herself: The N-Dubz singer looked excited as she buckled up, while Marcus simply looked terrified



Terrified: Jade looked frightened as the ride took off



Odd pair: Marcus was happy to smile for a photo whereas Misha B seemed camera shy in her multi-colored leggings



Perrie and Jade were later spotted enjoying the dodgems, where Marcus was also having some fun.

The last male in the competition was being filmed by the ITV crew as he steered the penguin car amongst the public, whilst Amelia Lily was followed by fans and their camera phones.

Marcus wore a back sheepskin-lined jacket with a cardigan and jeans, whereas Amelia Lily matched her pink hair with her fur coat but looked a little mismatched as she teamed it with a neon pink wooly hat and pale pink leather gloves.



Cuddle in close girls! Tulisa has forged a close relationship with the girl group



I can drive too! The 23-year-old had a go at steering her own penguin but no other dodgems were nearby



Fulfilling her duties: Janet Devlin was in Northern Ireland to turn on some Christmas lights whilst the rest of the group stayed together in London



With her bright orange hair hanging past her shoulders, the 17-year-old laughed with the crowd as she was introduced.

The hopeful wore a pair of dark green skinny jeans, a loose white T-shirt and tan boots, but earlier on she wore a multi-colored poncho as she met with waiting fans.



Greeting her fans: The redhead spent time meeting the crowd and posing for photos whilst in Omagh
