Minogue - Claims that Osbourne and Walsh made her feel uncomfortable

Dannii Minogue has spoken about her 'X Factor' feud last year with her fellow judges Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh.

The 36-year-old singer has claimed that the pair deliberately made her feel uncomfortable.

Minogue told Thomas Cook magazine: "When I arrived at 'X Factor', Sharon (Osbourne) and Louis (Walsh) made it very clear they didn't think I should be there.

"By the end of the series, Sharon made it public she didn't like me. I still don't know what I did to deserve that kind of treatment.

"It was very hard because I was excited to be on the show and had so much new stuff to learn."

"I was three years behind everyone else and it was interesting that they kind of went out of their way to make it as difficult for me as possible," Minogue said.

She continued: "I think it forced Simon (Cowell) and I to be better friends because I was getting attacked so much from the other side of the judging panel, I really needed some confidence about what I was doing there."

Speaking about Sharon Osbourne, she said: "There's nothing Sharon can say that will make me feel angry or bad. I couldn't live my life the way she lives her life. I'm just happy for her to get on with it and I'll stay out the way."
