Dannii Minogue has heard Aiden Grimshaw’s single and likes it, thanks for asking

Apparently Dannii Minogue likes Intense Troubadour Aiden Grimshaw’s new single, which is good to know.

Asked by The Juice if he still speaks to his former mentor, Aiden said: “She messages me every now and again. She let me know she’d heard the track and that she liked it, which was lovely. She was really good as a mentor. She made me feel really comfortable.”

Good old Dannii.

Elsewhere in the chat Aiden ‘revealed’ that the album is like a “journey”, which is a very former-X Factor contestant thing to say, but he also said he didn’t feel like one anymore, so there you go.

“Obviously I don’t want to get dropped,” he said when reminded about Matt Cardle’s recent ‘travails’, “but I don’t really feel like an X Factor contestant any more. I just feel like a normal 20-year-old dude who has written an album.”

‘Dude’.
