Just in from her :
"I'm not jealous. I'm not furious. There are no pre-live show crisis talks and there are no ultimatums. I love being a part of The X Factor and we (the judges) are all having so much fun this year. Just by watching all the backstage and behind-the-scenes footage on The Xtra Factor you can see we are all one big happy family. I missed two audition days in Birmingham as I was filming the Grand Final of 'Australia's Got Talent' on the other side of the world, so for this reason, it may appear to some, that I'm missing from the show - this is for the simple reason that I wasn't there! I'm so thrilled with my final 3 and 'Team Minogue' are ready for battle."

Well if anyone actually believed the rumours then they must have something wrong with them. This is the fifth series now and it happens every year it's always nothing.

Thanks for posting
can we stop with the "Dannii is jealous and hates everyone" stories now?

Danni is lovely. At least they cant edit her out when it comes to the live shows.

I think that the reason The X Factor have stronger ratings this year is because it's actually enjoyable to watch. Even Louis is better this year.
I like them all

Fair play to her for answering back to all this rubbish! Team Minogue gave us both of the final 2 last year. Let's see what she can do this year!

Woo, now can we stop the whole Dannii v Cheryl thing now thanksi

Didn't she deny the rumours about her and Sharon hating each other as well? They turned out to be true.

I feel sorry for Dannii because last year she was the "young and pretty one" blah blah...well she isn't any different to last year, it's just that the media decided to turn her into Sharon, which isn't at all fair.

It's not like sitting next to Cheryl makes her look bad - they both look good.

I think Dannii and Cheryl are both very pretty.

I think Dannii alluded to the whole Sharon thing stating that they didn't see eye to eye at the time, but she wouldn't be drawn into back biting and nasty comments like Sharon.

I agree

Cheryl certainly didn't seem comfortably about discussing her relationship with Dannii when quizzed by Jonathan Ross.

I would say there is a strong hint of truth in the rumours - not because of jealousy or whatever - but they just don't get on.

I think someoen is making stuff up now :\ Cheryl said there is nothing bad going on between them, and it's all water under the bridge? How does that equate to "not seeming comfortable abotu discussing her relationship with Danni"

I'm not making anything up

She didn't seem comfortable in my opinion. She also looked awkward in my opinion when asked if she'd discussed her previous comments about Dannii with her and said she hadn't. In my opinion, that's not a relationship that's going swimmingly.

Interestingly, she also mentioned the media training she's undertaken since those previous comments

She seriously used the phrase "one big happy family"? I didn't necessarily believe anything before, but that makes me think there is a problem.

I dont beleive Danni and Cheyle dislike each other and never have. The press like to make something out of nothing, that's all.

Natuarally as judges opinions will clash and I dont doubt this has happened between the pair. However that's a given. It's not personal, it's buisness.... as they would say. If Louis and Simon had a blazing row, the press would report nothing. And then, look at the banter between Simon and Cheryl. I dont see the headlines, do you?

Exactly. Everyone knows Louis and Dannii hate each other's guts.

THANK YOU! While I don't think you should believe every tabloid report you hear, you shouldn't automatically believe every denial you hear as well. The simple fact that she even bothered to answer these reports makes me wonder if there is some truth to it. If it's completely fake, why bother? Just ignore it. IMO that's the best solution. It's almost like she was instructed to make a statement.

And while I can believe that there is no fighting, the "one big happy family" thing is a pile of rubbish IMO.

We KNOW that Louis hates her.

IMO these feuds irrespective of their being real or not are just promotion for the show. If the judges "feuds" are being discussed in the papers then it is like free advertisements for the show.
If they were true Simon would not care as long as the resulting publicity benefited the show and people were still able to work together. If they were not true then Simon would be happy to see rumours in the press as it promotes interest in the show.

I can't believe people get so caught up in what is basically an advertising campaign.

Louis has said this year that he feels bad about how he & Sharon treated Dannii.
I don't think he hates her, I think he's threatened as she won. It's a pride thing.
So of course he doesn't want to see her win again

Again, it's been the same with Cheryl. She hasn't said "we don't see eye to eye." but I do believe that she and Cheryl have both avoided saying they actually like each other. That's why this "one big happy family"(along with the clear dislike between Dannii and Louis) is raising a red flag. I guess we'll see.

Or maybe not, I don't see Dannii being as brazen as Sharon in the future, but maybe Cheryl..... the live shows should be a bit interesting between them.

One thing I noticed last night was the look on Dannii's face when Simon agreed with Cheryl on Rachel. Cheryl said she wanted to see more of Rachel's spirit(or something) and didn't seem to pleased with her performance, and Dannii then talked some rubbish about Rachel winning herself "a lot of fans" after her crap performance. Then Simon went on to say that it was horrible. They had a close up of Dannii and she was not pleased IMO.

Link?

I don't think I've ever seen that quote, but I have seen him laugh about how she's been pushed aside for Cheryl.

I dunno, it could all be for publicity, but considering his friendship with Sharon, I don't think he cares much for Dannii IMO.

I think Dannii has done/is doing a fantastic job

Exactly. I refer, once again, to the media training Mrs Cole has said she's undertaken.

Bet she's had some extra coaching recently

I know the press make a lot of stuff up but this has been ongoing and consistent which makes me think there is truth in it.
