Minogue 'may still leave X Factor'

Dannii Minogue is reportedly still undecided on whether or not she will return on the next series of The X Factor.

According to The Sun, Minogue's contract negotiations with the show's producers have stalled.

A source said: "It was tough for Dannii last year and she got a lot of negative press. A person can only take so much before asking, 'Is it really worth it?'

"Dannii felt bullied by Sharon during her first series and that was tough, so she was looking forward to Cheryl joining the team last year."

They added: "But that became a nightmare too when the rumour mill went into overdrive with stories about the two of them competing against each other for Simon Cowell's attention.

"Simon is being patient so far, but she can't leave it too much longer."

Despite ongoing speculation, Cowell has previously predicted that Minogue will return to the show this year.
