X Factor's Sharon Osbourne: I'm gone

Fiery redhead is reported to have had bust-up with fellow judge Dannii Minogue

Sharon Osbourne visibly upset at Chicago Cast Change, Cambridge Theatre, London, Britain - 10 Sep 2007

Sharon Osbourne quit The X Factor on Saturday night after 2 of her 3 acts had to sing for survival.

‘That's it,’ the 55-year-old said as she refused to choose who to axe between contestants Kimberley Southwick, 19, and Alisha Bennett.

‘I'm not doing this any more. I'm out. I'm gone.’

Sharon also failed to turn up to ITV2's Xtra Factor and fled the studio as barmaid Kim was shown the door by Simon Cowell, 48, and Louis Walsh, 55.

But now it’s claimed that Sharon's outburst was fuelled by a backstage bust-up with fellow judge Dannii Minogue, 37, just an hour before the live show aired.

The Aussie singer is said to have been left in tears after the row.

‘Sharon was in her dressing gown and stormed into Dannii's dressing room, accusing her of saying things about her,’ a source tells the Daily Mirror. ‘Dannii denied it and the row just escalated. Dannii was in tears.’

An X Factor spokeswoman has refuted the suggestion that Dannii and Sharon exchanged words, saying: 'We're unaware of any arguments backstage.'

Sharon is expected to return to the show after holding crisis talks with producers.
