Dannii Minogue: Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh had it in for me

X Factor star speaks out against her fellow judges

Dannii Minogue says she loves having Cheryl Cole on The X Factor Panel

Dannii Minogue has spoken out against her X Factor co-stars Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne.

The singer, 36, joined the show for its 4th series and says neither judge made her feel welcome.

‘When I arrived, Sharon and Louis made it very clear they didn’t think I should be there,’ she reveals.

‘By the end of the series Sharon made it public she didn’t like me. I still don’t know what I did to deserve this kind of treatment.’

Sharon, 58, who quit the ITV show this year, publicly slated Dannii, saying she was only on the show because she looks good.

‘There’s nothing Sharon can say that will make me feel angry or bad,’ she tells Thomas Cook magazine.

‘I couldn’t live the way she lives her life.’

Sharon has been replaced by Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole, 25, who Dannii called a ‘breath of fresh air'.

The X Factor returns to ITV1 in September.
