X Factor choreographer Brian Friedman has claimed that Dannii Minogue is the best judge on the show and even insited that she now has more credibility than Simon Cowell.

Brian told the Daily Star Sunday “I think ­everything Dannii has said all season has been pretty much on point.

“She is my favourite judge right now.

“Simon is in a tough place in the show for keeping the twins in after all his comments.

“He’s known for ­speaking the truth – but I think that’s what Dannii has done so well this year.”

Brian is also backing John and Edward Grimes for the The X Factor final.

He explained: “The twins are ­serious ­challengers, they have a great chance of making the final.

“What makes them even more dangerous is they are finally starting to ­believe they have a shot and that’s half the battle.

“There’s been a change in them this week. They have a lot more confidence and I’ve had my best ­session with them. Unbelievably, they’ve actually been doing what I’ve told them.”

He added: “I’ve grown to love them, even though they drive me mad.”
