X Factor judge, Dannii Minogue has spoken out about claims that Rachel Hylton has been acting like a diva this week, and insists that nothing could be further than the truth.

"She’s working really, really hard this week," Minogue told the Daily Record. "I’m hating the fact that she’s being portrayed as a diva because that’s not the case."

"She’s nervous. I don’t think people really know her or understand her," she continued. "She’s really, really nervous up there on stage. She looks down and she’s got her family in the audience – there’s so much riding on this for her."
