Walsh takes swipe at fellow judge Minogue

Louis Walsh has taken at a swipe at 'X Factor' judge Dannii Minogue again, after recently claiming their relationship had improved this year.

Walsh - Recently claimed their relationship had improved.

The Sun reports that the Irishman mocked plastic surgery fan Dannii, 37, live on BBC Radio One today during an interview with DJ Chris Moyles.

He quipped: "I love Dannii's new face. I think she looks really well this year."

And Louis, 57, stuck the knife in further by implying he wanted the Aussie star to be sent far away.

He reportedly asked Moyles, who climbed Mount Kilimanjaro for Red Nose Day earlier this year, to take Dannii with him if he goes up any more mountains.

Louis asked: "Are you climbing any mountains this year? If you're going again bring Dannii with you. I think she could do with some fresh air."

He then laughed when Chris replied: "It's nice to see that the love is still there between you two beautiful people."

Last year Dannii was reduced to tears during a live episode of 'The X Factor' when Louis accused her of stealing the song he'd intended for his act JLS for one of her own.

She later revealed that she'd threatened to quit the show after the spat.

Must Watch TV

  • - House

    10.00pm Sky 1

    Can you believe it? It's the last ever episode of House. Eight seasons of medical conundrums, acerbic wit, questionable managerial style, drug addictions, psychiatric help, ill-fated romances, plus a prison sentence to boot, resulted in Dr Gregory House becoming one of TV's most memorable characters. The role nabbed Hugh Laurie a brace of Golden Globes plus a slate of Emmy nominations, catapulting the former Blackadder star to meteoric fame. At its peak, House was watched by 81.8 million people in 66 countries. Fittingly titled 'Everybody Dies' to bookend the 2004 pilot 'Everybody Lies', this emotional final prescription sees House examine his life and personal demons as he treats a drug-addicted patient (guest star James LeGros). Plus, former stars Jennifer Morrison, Olivia Wilde and Amber Tamblyn return; as does Kal Penn, who resumes his role as Kutner, the man who took his own life in Season Five. Dr Greg, we salute you!
