Simon Cowell has denied rumours of a feud between 'X Factor' judges Sharon Osbourne and Dannii Minogue.
Responding to newspaper claims that the two women were at war on the show, Cowell told The Mirror: "I have seen nothing which makes me think they don't get on. We're one big, happy family."
"I've been with them throughout the auditions and I just don't see it. There were a few days at the start when things were awkward but that was simply because they didn't know each other," he said.
"Unless I'm the most naive person in the world, there are no rows. Someone is just going about quietly whispering these things, which are a pack of lies."
"On a couple of occasions things got over-emotional. But there certainly haven't been any tearful walkouts. Dannii is very much part of the team now - she's been accepted," Cowell said.
"It feels like we've got a good relationship. And anyway it's not about the judges, it's about the contestants."
