Bosses behind ITV’s X Factor show are said to be furious after hearing that Kylie Minogue is due to appear on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing on the 1st of December.

Kylie had been lined up for an X Factor appearance on the show’s final on December the 15th, however X Factor bosses are now said to be demanding that the star performs on November the 24th, or not at all.

A source told The Sun: “The shows are so competitive. When X Factor found out about Strictly’s plan to get her on the show before them, they told Kylie that she either appears on November 24 or not at all.”

A spokesperson for the popstar said: “We are in discussions with both shows.”
