Sharon Osbourne told Piers Morgan “I left X Factor because of Dannii Minogue!”

Sharon Osbourne

Sharon Osbourne is appearing on Piers Morgan Life Stories tonight and one of the biggest revelations was when she bluntly declared that she had left the X Factor because of Dannii Minogue.

Osbourne eft the ITV1 show in June 2008 after four series, she explained her departure saying:

I left because of Dannii Minogue, simple as that.

I didn’t enjoy working with her at all and the prospect of spending six months sitting next to her, I thought ‘my life is better than that’.

She added that Minogue had “no sense of humour” and “bad plastic surgery”.

She denied being jealous of Dannii’s youth or looks:

I was 54, been round the block. I’ve not built my career on my looks or my youth,

There was no competition because we’re so opposite.

I didn’t hate her because hatred is very close to love and takes a lot of emotion and I don’t have that time for her” she said “she was like an insect, a mosquito that wouldn’t go away.

At least we now know that the whole feud wasn’t a figment of Simon Cowell’s press machine. Thanks Sharon!

    Sharon needs to get over herself, she has had more plastic surgery than most people, of course it was about Danni being younger and also winning. Sharon was used to being Queen Bee and did not like another female coming in, as much as she says she likes Cheryl Cole if it had been Cheryl come in she would not have liked her either. Personally the way Simons behaves towards the new girls is what causes half the trouble he plays them off against each other, Danni and Cheryl were too wise to fall for it though wheras Sharon did not like it.

  2. [...] a conversation about his problems with dyslexia. However, unlike last week’s episode where guest Sharon Osbourne was more than happy to serve the juicy lines on a plate, Branson wasn’t being so [...]

    that dannii should leave x factor. sharon osbourne get back in your x factor chair and be a judge x factor is boring with out you.

    Sharon’s comments about Dannii made for very uncomfortable viewing.
    It was plain bullying on national television. Her impersonation of
    her accent was racist and offensive. If Dannii was Asian it would
    not have been tolerated. I have met Sharon a few times as she
    comes in to our Estate Agency and she is a mean and nasty person.

    It is no surprise her children are so messed up. Either underweight or
    overweigt, in rehab or out of it. A pathetic family.
