X Factor judge, Dannii Minogue has spoken to The Mirror about the rumoured rivalry between her and fellow judge, Cheryl Cole.

She has denied that there is any tension between the pair and in fact claims to admire Cheryl for the way that she stands up to Simon Cowell.

Dannii told The Mirror:

“Anything that’s been said about us not getting on, has not come from us,” she insists.

“Cheryl’s been positive since she joined the show and so have I! There’s just nothing there!

“We’re still getting to know each other. We don’t socialise outside work but I don’t socialise with any of the judges.

“It does take a while to get to know each other and obviously I’ve had longer with Louis and Simon but by the end of show Cheryl and I will know each other better.

“And I love the fact she doesn’t take any nonsense from Simon and just gets in there and does the job and is not afraid to have her own opinion. She’s been amazing since day one.”

Dannii went on to add that anyone looking for judges arguments and tiffs would be sorely disappointed unless show bosses rehire Sharon Osbourne!

She said: “I think a certain amount of people wanted the Dannii-Sharon spat to continue with me and Cheryl. But I keep saying to people ‘Unless you get Sharon back it’s just not going to happen! Stop dreaming.’
