Walsh: 'Dannii living in Kylie's shadow'

Dannii Minogue has lived in the shadow of her older sister Kylie, according to Louis Walsh.

The record industry executive, who tonight takes JLS into the X Factor final, claims his fellow show judge is "very competitive" and admitted that he didn't get on with her when they first met.

"I like her a lot more this year." he told The Mirror. "Yes, she has been in Kylie's shadow all her life but she has her own talent and that has come through."

Walsh and Minogue fell out when the Irishman brought her to tears during a live broadcast earlier this year, but he revealed that they are now getting along better than ever.

He added: "Dannii is such a good girl and she always looks fantastic. Simon doesn't know which way to turn between Dannii and Cheryl."
