Dannii Minogue
The X Factor Judge Dannii Minogue revealed in an exclusive newspaper interview that she almost quit the hit ITV show after an on-air row left her shaken. Dannii and fellow judge Louis Walsh argued during a live Saturday night show as millions of viewers watched events unfold.
The spat was sparked by a fight over a song; Dannii chose a Take That number for her act Rachel Hylton which Louis had ear marked for his boy band JLS. The bust-up left the 37-year -old singer in tears but was forced to carry on through her emotions and introduce her act to the stage.
Dannii, the sister of pop princess Kylie Minogue, described how the argument bubbled over off set too, putting pay to any rumours suggesting it was a publicity stunt. She said “It was absolutely horrible. I would never want to go through that again or see anyone else through it.”
This wasn’t the first time the judges made the headlines instead of the acts. Sharon Osborne famously threw a glass of water over Louis Walsh after the pair had words. You’d have thought the Irish Judge would have learnt his lesson after receiving a soaking from Mrs Osborne but it seems he just can’t help himself.
Despite her ordeal Dannii is back on the judging panel and looking forward to the new season of the X Factor which is due to hit our screens at the end of this month.
