Minogue, Sinitta 'on good terms'

Dannii Minogue is on "good terms" with her X Factor co-star Sinitta, according to her spokesperson.

Earlier today, tabloid reports claimed that Minogue was in danger of losing her position on the judging panel after she described the 'So Macho' singer as a "true diva".

"Sinitta. God love her. She actually thinks she's running the show," Minogue told the Daily Star. "Maybe it should be called The Sinitta Factor.

"I heard she'd even packed her gold bikini for the judging at Simon's home at Easter."

Minogue's spokesperson defended her remarks, insisting that they were meant in a humourous and friendly manner.

"The Daily Star have completely misrepresented the quotes that Dannii gave on Sinitta. Her quotes were in jest with the reporter and said as a joke," the Australian's spokesperson Simon Jones told DS.

"Dannii and Sinitta are on very good terms, and she is really looking forward to live X Factor shows next month."

Sinitta has previously described Minogue as having an "arrogant self-belief" and in 2007 claimed that she would have been a better choice as the fourth judge.
