X Factor judge, Dannii Minogue has hit out at claims that she didn’t spend any time with her acts during the bootcamp stage of the show.

Suzie Furlonger, who Danni dropped at the judges house stage, claimed that Minogue only spent 45 minutes with each wannabe at the St Tropez property.

But in her Closer magazine column, Dannii has hit back saying:

She said: “I couldn’t believe it when I read the story. I was upset to see that Suzie had gone to the press saying I didn’t mentor her or spend any time with her or the others.

“To fill you in, Suzie – we’re separated from the contestants by the producers. We’re only allowed to see you in front of the cameras filming your final performance. I wish this had been explained to you!”

Dannii added: “Ironically I was desperate to speak to them all, so as soon as filming finished I went to hang out with my contestants to see how they were.”
