Selecting row in tableview, removes custom cell - swift

Question

I have a Viewcontroller with a Searchbar at the top with a tableview below. The tableview has a custom cell with 2 labels in it. My problem is that when i run the app and i select a row/cell everything inside the cell disappears. I then force the blank cell outside the visible area of the tableview, so it will be re-used. That's when everything inside the cell is back. Does anyone know why it behaves like this?
My Custom cell class (ContactCell.swift):
import UIKit
class ContactCell: UITableViewCell {
#IBOutlet var lblContactName: UILabel!
#IBOutlet var lblContactTitle: UILabel!
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
// Initialization code
}
override func setSelected(selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)
// Configure the view for the selected state
}
}
My ViewDidLoad function:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
tableView.dataSource = self
tableView.delegate = self
}
My Delegate and Datasource:
extension contactsTabelViewController: UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return 6
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("contactCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! ContactCell
if let label = cell.lblContactName{
label.text = "This is a name"
}
if let label3 = cell.lblContactTitle{
label3.text = "This is a title"
}
return ContactCell()
}
}

Answer 1

The problem that caused this problem was that i returned ContactCell() instead of the variable cell
Solution was:
Change this:
return ContactCell()
to this:
return cell
in the cellForRowAtIndexPath function.
