X factor judge Dannii Minogue has avoided attending the live UK tour, as she doesn’t want to run into Sharon Osbourne.

The first show kicks off in my homeland of Belfast tomorrow night, but Dannii won’t be there, having opted to go on holiday instead.

“Dannii really wanted to go along, especially as she was the winner this year with Leon,” a source told the Daily Star Sunday. “But she knows any more clashes with Sharon could risk her job as Simon Cowell has made it clear he wouldn’t hesitate to sack both of them.

“Dannii is filming Australia’s Got Talent in a few weeks so she won’t be on the tour.”
