Simon Cowell’s right hand woman, Sinitta, has revealed to The Daily Star that X Factor judges Simon and Danni Minogue have fallen out.

Tensions have been running high on the show since the live rounds started but after Simon repeatedly forgot her acts names and sidelined her in favour of new judge Cheryl , it seems as though Dannii has reached breaking point.

Sinitta said: "Last year it was all about Simon caring for Dannii and protecting her from Sharon, but this year he hardly notices she exists and it’s annoying her.
"But having a go at Simon in front of the other judges isn’t the way to solve it.
"Simon is forgetting the name of Dannii’s acts on purpose to undermine her. I wouldn’t be surprised if he pretends to forget her name this week."
