Minogue, Walsh end 'X Factor' feud

Dannii Minogue has patched up her differences with X Factor co-star Louis Walsh, according to a report.

The pair fell out during Minogue's first series in 2007 after Walsh mocked the singer's pop career on a live show, claiming that she has never had a hit single.

Last year, relations between the judges worsened when Minogue was reduced to tears live on air following a spat with the boyband manager. Walsh later accused her of faking the breakdown.

Minogue and Walsh are now busy filming for the forthcoming sixth series alongside fellow panellists Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole.

A source told The Mirror: "Over the last few days, it's been a love-fest between Dannii and Louis. During breaks in filming the pair have been hanging out together, gossiping and giggling like schoolgirls.

"They have also been plotting ways to wind up Simon Cowell. They're not freezing Cheryl Cole out intentionally but she has so much going on at the moment that she just shows up, does what's required, then leaves.

"I think Louis just realised he was too harsh with Dannii last year."

Minogue reportedly demanded fairer treatment on The X Factor before signing her contract earlier this year.

The ITV1 talent show returns to screens later this month.
