Sharon Osbourne has quit her role as an X Factor judge due to an ongoing feud with Dannii Minogue, reports thelondonpaper.

Osbourne was allegedly heard telling Fearne Cotton at the Brits that she was giving up the show.

A TV insider revealed: "She works hard and cares about her acts, but it's a tough schedule and she has found it wearing working with Dannii in the last series."

Minogue revealed her disappointment with Osbourne after her fellow judge failed to congratulate her when two of her artists, Leon Jackson and Rhydian Roberts, secured the top two spots on the show.

The Australian singer has chosen to avoid joining the show's nationwide tour as she doesn't want to do it with Osbourne.

Osbourne admitted in a TV interview that she was unhappy with Minogue as a judge, saying: "Dannii knows she's there because of her looks, not because of her contribution to the music industry."
