Kylie Minogue Replaces Dannii On X Factor!
1st April, 2010
Could Kylie be stepping in her little sister’s shoes and become the next judge on the X Factor?
ITV sources have confirmed that Dannii will be back for the finals once she has had her baby, but as she is due to give birth during the live auditions she will have to be replaced by guest judges.
One ITV source told the Mirror, "Dannii will definitely be back and has not been axed. There has been a lot of speculation but we want her back. She really blossomed last year."
While another added: "Dannii gave an absolutely blinding performance in the X Factor last year - the whole nation was captivated by her. She has a poise and a confidence and is completely compelling." When a similar situation happened on American Idol when Ellen DeGeneres fell pregnant stand in judges were also used and it seems the same thing will happen on X factor.
A source close to Dannii told the paper: "Last year the contract wasn't signed until June, so she's not worried at all. She loves the X Factor and it is a huge priority for her, so she will do what it takes to make the situation work for everyone."
Paddy Power is placing on bets on who will replace the Aussie star during the live auditions. Sharon Osbourne is 3/1 and is third in the betting behind Robbie Williams at 2/1, Paula Abdul at 5/1 and sister Kylie at 100/1.
