Minogue 'upset' over 'X Factor' shake-up

Dannii Minogue is upset after being ordered to change seats on The X Factor, a report has claimed.

The Australian singer swapped positions with Louis Walsh for Saturday night's show, which separated her from Cheryl Cole and put her as far away from Simon Cowell as possible. The new arrangement remained in place for last night's episode.

According to the Daily Mail, Minogue was told about the revamp five minutes before the show went on air on Saturday night.

A source said: "The producers like the banter between Simon and Louis and wanted to move Louis up the panel. We are constantly trying to make the show fresh and new and trying out new ideas, but it was very upsetting for Dannii. After the show, she left the studios very quickly."

Minogue used her Twitter account to comment on the change during an advert break on Saturday.

She asked: "Love the pantomime of change of seats?"

The popstar later joked: "I think I am sitting outside with the fans tomorrow, that would be fun!"

Minogue lost her first act last night as Rachel Adedeji was voted off the competition.
