Dannii Minogue has admitted that judges on the X Factor can’t be friends, because of the competitive nature of the show.

Speaking on Aussie radio station 2DayFM, the star revealed that: “Basically, it’s a competition for the judges too.

She added: “If Simon [Cowell] says to one of my singers, ‘I really like you but the song was really bad. What on earth were you thinking choosing that, Dannii?’ in front of 14million viewers, you have to defend yourself and your choices.”

Funny, Louis Walsh often claims that Simon Cowell is one of his best friends ever. Either he’s lying, or he has really, really bad friends!
