The video which has haunted Tulisa Contostavlos over the past few weeks has gone on sale in Soho shops.
It is being advertised with fluorescent signs reading 'Tulisa sex tape sold here' on boards outside shops in the area.
The film shows the star engaged in an intimate act with her ex-boyfriend Justin Edwards.
Tulisa has previously said of the incident: 'When you share an intimate moment with someone that you love and trust you never imagine for one minute that footage may at any point be shared with the rest of the UK.'
Naturally the news that the footage is now available on DVD will come as a shock for Tulisa, who has been trying to put the whole thing behind her.
The video has even beat Tulisa's single, Young- now available to pre-order- to the shops.
Understandably, the entire affair appears to have put quite a dent in the star's confidence already.
Having attended Drake's show at the O2, Tulisa was reportedly seen looking embarrassed backstage when she bumped into the JLS boys.
A source told The Sun: 'Tulisa was really looking forward to escaping all the embarrassment of the past week with a good night out.'
'She knew the JLS boys were going to be there but felt really awkward when she walked in because she presumed the lads had seen the tape.'
'She said a quiet 'Hello' to them — but then went straight out the back door, let out a big squeal and took a deep breath before going back in to face them.'
The singer reportedly went home early on her first big night out since the embarrassment on Wednesday.
Tulisa's former lover turned the tables on the singer on Monday, claiming it was her idea to make a sex tape, even implying it was filmed on her mobile phone.
Justin Edwards, whose stage name is MC Ultra, came out of hiding and broke his silence in a packed courtroom over accusations he leaked the explicit footage.
In extraordinary scenes at London's High Court the 28-year-old denied he released the footage, saying it would have been 'ungentlemanly' and he had been 'brought up better than that'.
Edwards showed up to the court room dressed in a suit and aviator shades as he was flanked by security.
The N-Dubz star, who was not present in court, has started legal proceedings to sue her former beau over breach of privacy.
And she received a small triumph in the battle today as a judge ruled that an order banning the publication of the footage should continue.
But while she has managed to keep the distribution of the six-minute clip at bay for now, she faces more woes as Edwards opened up in court about the film.
He alleged it was Tulisa's idea to film the video in the first place and told the judge that Contostavlos had 'persuaded me that we should film ourselves' and 'seemed to be implying' that filming took place on the singer's phone.
Details of his defence to the singer's allegations were revealed at a preliminary court hearing today.
A judge was told they'd enjoyed an 'on and off relationship' which ended at the end of 2009.
The X Factor judge's lawyers made legal moves to seek an injunction rather quickly once news of the tape had spread.
The injunction prohibits anyone from using, publishing or communicating or disclosing to any other person... all or any part of the film.
And while Edwards has vehemently denied he leaked the footage, the 23-year-old N-Dubz star has also reportedly made moves to sue Edwards, whose stage name is MC Ultra, for sharing the footage.
Earlier this week ,The Sun reported the singer has called in her lawyers to seek damages for up to £100,000.
Legal papers were apparently served at a house in West Hampstead, North London, where Edwards mother lives.
However, the 28-year-old, who goes by the name MC Ultra wasn't there at the time and is said to be hiding out in the West Country since the video was up for sale online for £3.90 on Monday.
A source close to Edwards told the newspaper: 'She's suing for up to £100,000. This latest move by Tulisa has really unnerved and unsettled him. It's serious stuff and he's got to take it seriously. It's a lot of pressure for him.'
Tulisa opened up about the video last week, when she posted a video online and opened up to her fans about her devastation over the leak.
But despite the London-born star owning up to being the female in the footage, one person who is still shocked by the whole situation is Tulisa's stepmother Melanie Vondrau.
The 39-year-old, was married to the star's father Plato for ten years up until 2009, claims that her 'heart just broke' when she heard the news.
'A young girl who respects herself would choose her partner very wisely,' she told The Sun. 'She is clearly not making the right partner choices.
The housewife went on to say that she thinks Tulisa's broken home is to blame for her choice of men.
'She needs strong, loving parental guidance. Unfortunately for Tulisa, her mum is not very well and she has got a father who is a distant character.
'I feel she is a victim of her childhood - the classic little girl who wants her father's love.'
These latest comments will no doubt add to the singer's difficult week after her fans took to Twitter to accuse her orchestrating the scenario to grab their attention.
Just days after the sex tape was leaked online, the singer released a rather suggestive video for her debut single We Are Young.
As she sings the catchy lyrics, including 'forgive me for what I have done', Tulisa can be seen licking up ice cream with her tongue.
The single has been getting mixed reviews, and some fans have spoken out about the timing of her Youtube video.
The song features some hard partying antics from Tulisa and opens with the line: 'Forgive me for what I have done, cos I'm young, yeah I'm young.
'I don't mean to frighten you off, it's just fun, it's just fun.'
After We Are Young was played on Radio One by Chris Moyles, one fan wrote: 'Is it just coincidence that the Tulisa video ''scandal'' is the same week she is publicising her debut single?'
Another person said: 'Waitttt, tulisa's clip gets leaked 2 days before she releases her first single #publicitystunt'.
We Are Young is an electro pop song produced by Tulisa's ex-boyfriend and band mate Richard 'Fazer' Rawson.
