London
(ANI):
Slamming
former
X
Factor
judge
Sharon
Osbourne,
Australian
singer
songwriter
Dannii
Minogue
has
branded
the
show
"a
dream" without
her.
Alhtough
Minogue
and
Osbourne
had
a
bitter
battle
during
last
year's
series,
the
latter
has
left
the
show
over
a
pay
row.
Girls
Aloud
star
Cheryl
Cole
has
replaced
Osbourne
on
the
show.
Minogue
says
that
she
now
loves
filming
with
the
new
judge,
55-year-old
Louis
Walsh,
and
48-year-old
Simon
Cowell.
"It's
just
a
dream.
It's
a
very
different
set," British
tabloid
The
Sun
quoted
her
as
saying.
"No
more
eyes
down
during
commercial
breaks
trying
not
to
look
tense.
It
wasn't
the
sort
of
environment
I
wanted
to
be
in,"
she
said.
Though
Minogue
has
also
fought
with
Cheryl
in
the
past,
she
claims
that
they
have
put
their
differences
behind
them.
"We
started
off
on
a
good
foot.
I
went
to
her
dressing
room
and
said:
'Welcome
to
the
set,
let's
have
some
fun',"
Minogue
revealed.
"I
can't
say
I
don't
enjoy
the
current
situation
a
lot
more,"
she
said.
A
pal
of
Minogue's,
however,
said
that
there
had
been
"frostiness"
between
the
pair
on
the
ITV1
show,
hosted
by
Dermot
O'Leary,
35.
Holly
Willoughby,
27,
presents
spin-off
Xtra
Factor.
"They
are
not
the
best
of
pals
and
probably
never
will
be.
But
anything
is
better
than
Sharon.
Dannii
is
now
the
show's
senior
woman
and
feels
like
she
won
the
war,"
the
source
said.
