I DID TERRIBLY ON X FACTOR - SHARONSharon Osbourne has admitted she did "terribly" on this year's X Factor, but says she definitely wants to stay on the panel.
The 55-year-old saw two of her Under 25 girls get booted off the show - and the third withdrew - long before the semi-finals.
Speaking at a press conference, she said: "I did terribly this year, so as far as my mentoring goes I didn't do very well did I? As far as the dream team for next year, please don't let's change it again - I just want to stay exactly where we are. I think we're a pretty fiery lot, but we can all hold our own."
But Sharon admitted she did live in fear of being sacked like fellow judge Louis Walsh was for a time last year. "I've learnt that you don't make long-term plans in this industry. I never know what's happening. If they want me I'm here," she added.
She also responded to reports of tension between herself and Dannii Minogue, saying: "It's an open playing field. Dannii speaks about me and I speak about her, but yet we both respect each other."
Dannii Minogue said of their reportedly troubled relationship it's all a "game".
Speaking at a press conference ahead of Saturday's final, the 36-year-old singer blamed the media for blowing their rivalry out of proportion.
She said: "So much of it has been created that hasn't been said. We know how the game works, we know what the headlines are going to be and unfortunately you put two women on a show together and people want to see a catfight - I don't understand why it's like that but it is."
Meanwhile, Sharon said negative comments towards Dannii made on the Graham Norton Show were only said during a comedy sketch.
Dannii, whose acts Leon Jackson and Rhydian Roberts will go head-to-head in the final, admitted that her career successes and failures had helped her during her first year on the judging panel. "I take what I do seriously, I think the ups and the downs in my own career give me the tools to do this job and I want the best for these guys. I want to give them the best chance to have a career and travel the world. I feel like a mother to them now."
