Dannii Minogue finally breaks her silence and hints Simon Cowell sex claims were true

DANNII MINOGUE has broken her silence to reveal she will NEVER return to The X Factor – despite being desperate for a role in a UK show.

Judge Dannii, who quit the ITV show in 2011, was humiliated after Tom Bower’s unauthorised biography this year claimed that Simon Cowell had bedded her.

And after turning down a £1million deal to re-join the panel, the Aussie gave her strongest hint yet that Bower’s claims were true.

Dannii admitted: “I haven’t read the book, but I’ve been told about the excerpts that relate to me and the speculation about my private life.

“From what’s been reported they — Tom and Simon — put hundreds of hours into making this book, and Tom is a respected journalist.

“They looked very pleased with it all at their launch. I’m sure it makes for a great read and I wish them the best.”

She went on: “I was offered the chance to return, but I decided it wasn’t the right thing for me. It didn’t fit in with arrangements I’d made for Australia’s Got Talent.

“I have been with AGT since the first episode and it’s filmed in my home town. I had four incredible years on The X Factor but the show has moved on and so have I.

“The X Factor will always have a special place in my heart. I’m still in contact with the contestants.”

Dannii, 40, is now single after splitting from Kris Smith, dad to son Ethan, earlier this year. And despite rumours, she is adamant reconciliation is not on the cards.

In an interview with Glamour, out tomorrow, she said: “I’m extremely private about my relationship, but nothing has changed since Kris and I separated.

“Ethan remains our priority. We just celebrated his second birthday and I’m loving every minute I get to spend with him.

“Motherhood has been the most wonderful experience and his smile makes any bad day right.”

She went on: “The love and support from the UK is incredible. The September issue of Glamour, and I’m a cover girl again! I can’t wait to be back in September.”
