Dannii Minogue: Cheryl Cole is Simon Cowell's favourite

Singer says she's been snubbed by The X Factor boss

Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole

Dannii Minogue admits her friendship with Simon Cowell isn't what it used to be.

The singer reckons it’s because he favours new X Factor judge Cheryl Cole, 25.

‘I guess Simon and I don’t talk much any more, definitely nothing like last year when I was next to him on the panel and was also the new girl,’ she reveals.

‘He moved me away from him and now sits next to Cheryl and is in her ear all the time. It is a snub but I’m fine. It’s nothing compared to what I had to go through last year.’

But Dannii, 37 is trying not to let it get to her.

‘This year has been very emotional and I admit I’ve struggled to deal with it all,’ she tells the News Of The World.

‘Especially with Simon, who is the biggest diva on the show. Mariah Carey doesn’t even compare to him!’
