Danni Minogue says she agrees with the decision not to bring back Laura White on The X Factor.

Thousands of fans signed a petition calling for the 21-year-old singer to be reinstated.

But Dannii, while shocked at Laura's departure, thinks the right decision was made.

‘I thought Laura would get to the final,’ she says. ‘I heard there’s a petition online to try and get her back into the show.

‘[But] I don’t think it would be fair on the other contestants – and it highlights the point that you need to vote for who you like.

'If people had voted for Laura she wouldn’t have been in that position.

Dannii, who saved her act Ruth Lorenzo, 25, in the controversial sing-off, says Cheryl Cole’s other 2 acts are her main rivals.

‘I was incredibly proud of Ruth winning that vote though,’ she says. ‘Now Laura’s gone, the main Team Minogue competition is Diana Vickers and Alexandra Burke – they’re great!’
