X Factor judge, Dannii Minogue is trying to pour cold water on the rumours that she and fellow judge Cheryl Cole are embroiled in some sort of bitter feud over who receives the most air time on the show.

Dannii told Closer magazine: “I don’t know who’s trying to rumble stories about me and Cheryl not getting on, but it’s absolutely not true! I honestly couldn’t think of a better person to sit next to as a new judge.

“The X Factor isn’t like last year – our focus is on the talent, not the judges! There’s no drama. I’m totally blissed out with my life right now.

“People always expect the show to be a battle between the judges. Don’t get me wrong, when the live finals start it will be a battle – but not in a nasty way!”
