Niki "glad" to see Louis mocking Dannii

X Factor star Niki Evans has admitted that she was "glad" to see Louis Walsh mocking Dannii Minogue on last week's show.

Tension between the two judges came to a head when Dannii said that Niki's performance of 'Power Of Love' from the previous week had been out of tune. Louis responded by implying that Dannii could not sing well herself, and he later claimed that she had never had a hit record.

Niki made her comments at a press conference which was attended by all four remaining finalists this week.

Speaking about the spat between Dannii and Louis, bookies' favourite Rhydian Roberts explained: "She was genuinely upset - the words that he used were quite strong."

"Good, I'm glad, good," Niki cut in, adding: "I'm glad he said it to her."

Niki, Rhydian, Leon Jackson and Same Difference will compete for places in the final on tonight's show.
