Will she, won’t she? Is anyone else getting fed up with people speculating about Dannii Minogue’s return to X Factor this year?

The latest rumour is that she will return but only because Simon said she could.

A source told The Sun: “The chances of Dannii making a return were looking exceptionally bleak as recently as a fortnight ago. Now Simon has given the green light for her return. The line-up is going to be exactly the same as last year, despite all the speculation.

“She has had a tough run over the last couple of years and she has no intention of giving up now.

“Dannii has been playing a clever game on her contract negotiations.

“She has made it clear she loves the show but hasn’t shown her hand publicly about her desire to return.

“The contracts will be signed in the next week.”

The question is, does anybody really care?
