Dannii Minogue is said to be feeling isolated on this years X factor panel, despite recently claiming that her job was a dream.
A source told The Mirror: “Simon is delighted with how things have gone. He is calling [Cheryl] the ‘new Cilla Black’. She has that touch that connects with people. She is a natural fit to the show and makes Dannii somewhat redundant.

You have to wonder why Sharon Osbourne backed Girls Aloud singer, Cheryl Cole as her replacement on this year’s X Factor. Could it be because she genuinely thought Cheryl would be good at the job, or is sadistic Sharon at work again and does she just want to see mouthy Cheryl continue the battle with Danni just where Mrs O left off?

X Factor judge, Dannii Minogue, has hit out at the behaviour of her fellow judges on last years series of the show.
“I was so happy just to be happy when I got that job,” Dannii told Celebs on Sunday magazine. “And then I found myself having to find a lot of strength to get through the day. I remember the first day I was like a scared mouse, especially when I realised Sharon had some personal mission against me. It grew as the show went on, and I still to this day have no idea why.
“I can only guess that it’s jealousy, because there’s nothing else I can pin it down to. There were a lot of days when I felt like I was being bullied.”
Dannii named fellow judge Simon Cowell as a “close friend” but admitted that she is dreading seeing Osbourne and Walsh again when filming for the new series starts next month. Continue reading ‘X Factor 2008: Dannii Minogue Calls Sharon Osbourne A ‘Bully’‘ »
X Factor judge, Dannii Minogue, has revealed that she is planning to try to crack the American TV market thanks to Simon Cowell.

“I am doing Australia’s Got Talent and then X Factor in the summer and then I’d love to do a project in America.
“I didn’t have the confidence to look for work in America before doing X Factor. But that show achieves 13million viewers and there is no bigger in Britain.
“So you think: ‘Well what do I do next?’ Continue reading ‘Simon Cowell Helps Dannii Minogue Crack America‘ »
