X Factor Dramz! Did Simon FIRE Dannii?!

And the plot thickens!

Despite her announcement that she was leaving her position on the judges panel of The X Factor because of scheduling commitments to Australia’s Got Talent, Dannii Minogue may have actually been fired from her role on the reality competition than none other than Simon Cowell himself!

A source reveals:

“She was axed, pure and simple. Simon is a huge admirer of Dannii and loved working with her but the fact is he wanted new people this year.”

We hope that’s not true!

It really would be such a shame!

Hopefully she’s comforted knowing it was purely a business decision, and that she still has her job on Australia’s Got Talent!

We’ll miss you though, Dannii! Best of luck!
