Dannii Minogue won't be returning to The X Factor

  • May 18, 2012
  • Mikey

ACTIVATE THE BURKE: Dannii Minogue has 'withdrawn' from nego­ti­ations to return to The X Factor after she allegedly asked for half the money Britney's getting.

'Show insiders' told The Sun that they refused "to be held to ransom" by Dannii and are now "putting con­tin­gency plans (Sinitta) in place".

The woman who gave the world Leon Jackson and Matt Cardle was appar­ently offered £750,000, then £1m, but said she wouldn't leave Melbourne for less than £5m.

'Pals' of Dannii (maybe even Ruth Lorenzo) reportedly told the paper "it wasn’t about money" and that she was upset about that book about her and Simon's "bonks".

There are many words one might associate with the idea of sexual inter­course with Simon Cowell. Bonk is not one of them.
