Dannii Minogue: 'I am speaking to Simon'

Dannii Minogue has denied claims that she is not on speaking terms with Simon Cowell.

It was reported that the X Factor judge was "at war" with Cowell after he caused her act Lucie Jones to be sent home, taking the panel to deadlock where Minogue's mentee lost the public vote.

However, on her Twitter page, Minogue wrote: "No truth that Simon and I are not speaking. We caught up by phone yesterday!"

It has also been claimed that Minogue was unhappy to be moved to the edge of the panel on the reality talent contest and returned to her old position without Cowell's permission.
