Is Dannii Facing X Factor Axe?
By admin • Mar 29th, 2010During last year’s X Factor, it was the style choices of Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue that kept many women tuning in week after week, rather than the contestants themselves.
However, the UK’s new favourite fashion queen Dannii may no longer be leading the nation’s wardrobe choices, following reports that she is to face the axe from the judging panel of the ITV1 talent search.
The pregnant singer is expected to give birth to her first baby with partner Kris Smith in July, which happens to be right in the middle of the nationwide audition rounds.
While Dannii revealed on her Twitter feed that she is not facing the axe from the hit show, it is believed that Simon Cowell is now lining up possible replacements, including Robbie Williams.
Dannii has made no secret of the fact she hopes to give birth to her baby in her native Australia, but has also claimed she would like to continue to be involved with the X Factor in some way.
According to the Daily Mail, Simon is keen to avoid a similar row to that which occurred when Denise Van Outen was replaced as a judge on the BBC series Over The Rainbow.
Denise had been a regular judge on the Andrew Lloyd Webber programmes, which included a hunt for a star for musicals the Sound of Music and Joseph.
The presenter said she was "disappointed" not to be part of the new show.
