Dannii Minogue Will NOT Be Returning To The X Factor UK

We're pretty disappointed! Dannii Minogue has revealed this week that she won't be making an appearance on this year's X Factor in the UK, despite hopes that she would appear on the Judges' Houses section of the show.

However, the X Factor Australia judge admitted that due to changes in the format this year, it wasn’t possible. “But sadly, they’re filming the Judges’ Houses live this year, so it didn’t work out."
