The onslaught of people dissing X Factor judge, Dannii Minogue just never seems to stop.

Last week Louis was calling her a thief to anyone who would listen, even reducing her to tears on Saturdays show and now ex judge Sharon Osbourne has started up her hate Dannii campaign again.

In an interview with The Sun Sharon blasted Dannii for her tears on last weeks X factor saying that she was trying to manipulate the public and that Louis Walsh is now devastated that people perceive him as a bully.

She says: “Louis is genuinely upset because he doesn’t want people to think he is a bully.

“People who don’t know Louis would be watching and thinking, ‘That poor girl!’ But there are two sides to the story. This has been building up for months.

“It’s a very emotional show to work on and everyone wants their act to win. But there is a point where you have to be fair and say, ‘You had that song picked out weeks ago, you have it’.

“Dannii’s got great timing and knows when to pull out the sympathy card. She didn’t cry when JLS came knocking at her door to ask for the song, did she? Her tears were only on live TV.

“Louis has Tourette’s — he has no filter — so he says whatever he thinks. He’s confrontational but he’s not malicious and he’s not a bully.

“I’m not just saying this because I love him. I never answered back to her interviews last year, I took all her s***, I kept my mouth shut. But I have to stand up for Louis.

“He’s in bed with flu this week — this whole situation is making him sick. Believe me, I know, because I’ve been that way.

“I got physically sick with the stress and the pressure. Nothing is worth that. I went through so much hurt and that was the biggest factor in me leaving The X Factor. Dannii was 99.9 per cent of the reason. I couldn’t take that in my life.”

Sharon thinks that Dannii is desperately trying to claw back some of the attention she got on last years series but is feeling left out as it becomes more and more obvious that Simon Cowell prefers Cheryl Cole to her.

She says: “As an outsider looking in — and I am an outsider now — it’s the Simon and Cheryl show. When you were teacher’s pet and you come back to class and you’re no longer teacher’s pet, she must be hurting.

“She’s not the pretty one sitting next to Simon any more. She’s sitting next to old Louis!

“But it’s not Louis’s fault that Cheryl’s taken her place and people adore her.

“Louis tried to make it better with Dannii this year. Last year he bought her a Christmas present but an assistant grabbed it from him and closed the door in his face — he didn’t get a thank you, nothing. And it’s the same now.

“She obviously still sees Louis as being my friend and wants to get rid of him too.

“But if she’s really having a hard time now, it’s her own doing. The karma truck has well and truly parked outside her house.”
