Dannii not certain of 'X Factor' return

Dannii Minogue has said that it is not yet certain she will return to The X Factor this year.

The judge has sat out the audition phases of this year's competition due to her pregnancy with partner Kris Smith, but has been tipped to return for the live shows in a £700,000 deal.

However, Minogue brushed aside reports that she had signed a contract with producers and told InStyle: "All that's happened is I've met them.

"They're expressing an interest for me to come back and I'm expressing an interest to come back. We have to see if we can make it work."

Minogue has been replaced by a number of guest panellists in her absence, including Katy Perry, Natalie Imbruglia and Geri Halliwell.
