Louis Walsh hits back at 'actress' Dannii

Louis Walsh has reignited his feud with X Factor co-star Dannii Minogue by accusing the Aussie singer of faking her on-air breakdown.

Minogue cried on the ITV1 talent show two weeks ago following a heated row with Walsh over song choices.

However, speaking on This Morning, Walsh insisted: "She wasn't crying. She was acting. She's an actress. She was in Home and Away."

The music manager also revealed that the argument was an isolated incident rather than part of an ongoing battle behind the scenes.

"We're good friends," he explained. "That was the only problem we had this year. She's a good judge."

Minogue was recently branded a "bully" and an "iceberg" by her former co-star Sharon Osbourne, who remains a close friend of Walsh.
