Fearne Cotton, host of ITV2 show The Xtra Factor has revealed that this year, judges Simon Cowell and Dannii Minogue are getting Xtra (did you see what I did???) touchy felly!

Cotton tells the Daily Star: “Simon is a massive flirt and does flirt with Dannii a hell of a lot. During one of my links the other weak, I was interviewing Dannii when he squeezed her thigh off shot. It wasn’t her inner thigh but quite high up!”

“There’s definitely a bit of flirting going on, but it’s Simon’s forth series, maybe he’s entertaining himself by having the beautiful Dannii sat by his side.”

Another insider on the show said: “They just get on like a house on fire, it’s all very innocent.

“They always make sure they stick together, because Louis and Sharon are as thick as thieves so they want to make sure they don’t gang up on them.”
