Dannii Minogue and Simon Cowell snub Sharon Osbourne’s Christmas bash

The X Factor judges don't clink glasses together

Dannii Minogue and Simon Cowell failed to turn up to rival Sharon Osbourne’s Christmas party.

The 55-year-old ushered in the festive seaspm with a swanky do at London’s DKNY store.

But Louis Walsh, 55, was the only X Factor judge to make an appearance.

Dannii’s absence has reignited claims that she and Sharon hate each other.

‘Dannii had other commitments and knew it was Sharon’s party so didn’t want to deflect from that,’ says a source.

‘The last thing Dannii wanted was to answer more questions about her relationship with the other judges.

‘So she sensibly stayed at home drinking her favourite liquorice tea. But a few folk did raise eyebrows that she wasn’t there.’

Other guests at the party included Paul O’Grady, 52, and presenter Claudia Winkleman, 35.
