Minogue Reveals Cowell Feud

The singer, who is reportedly facing the axe from the hit show, has revealed she and programme boss Cowell have had a long-running feud - and he's a worse diva than recent show guest Mariah Carey.

But Minogue has set the record straight and says that Simon Cowell has assured her that there WILL be a job for her next year.

Minogue tells Britain's News of The World newspaper, "This year has been very emotional and I admit I've struggled to deal with it all, especially with Simon, who is the biggest diva on the show.

"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. He moved me away from him... It is a snub but I'm fine."

Ironically, another X Factor regular, Sharon Osbourne, believes Cowell only hired Minogue because "he fancied her".
