'X Factor' judge Dannii Minogue has said again that she and fellow judge Louis Walsh are good friends following a well-reported fall-out last year. The pair had a row over which act would perform a Take That single.
Speaking to Metro the Australian called Walsh "a genuine sweetheart".
She said: "Last year was horrible. The thing between Louis and myself got totally blown out of proportion from just a silly little thing.
"But he came to me this year and was so honest and sweet and said it should have never happened. He's such a genuine sweetheart and he just melted my heart when he said sorry and this year things are a million times better."
Speaking about Cheryl Cole, Minogue said: "It was made up that I wanted to sit away from Cheryl."
