Dannii: My guy Simon

She admits she has formed a special relationship with X Factor guru Simon Cowell.

And Dannii Minogue accepts that it has caused a rift on the show's judging panel.

But yesterday the sexy singer laughed off suggestions that she and Mr Nasty are anything more than just good pals.

Rumours began after Kylie's sister and Simon, 48, were spotted leaving the BBC studios after Children in Need. Dannii said: "It looks like we're holding hands.

"But if you look at the picture you can see I'm laughing - and it's at that point I realised from the angle of the camera that it looked a lot different from what it was."

She joked: "I think it's just the easiest conclusion to jump to."

Dannii, 36, says she has listened to Simon's advice and respects his professional opinion.

She explains: "At the beginning of the series I had to call him sometimes and say, 'I was thinking of doing this...' We agree on a lot of stuff and you can see mostly that the panel is split with Sharon and Louis, and myself and Simon because I am not scared to say what I think.

"We do get on easily and he has had to guide me through things."

Dannii, who says she is already dating at the moment, has faced verbal attacks from fellow judges Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne on and off screen - some of which have left her in tears.

She says: "It is hard to be on the receiving end of some of that stuff. Because I don't know the three judges as well as they know each other it can be more upsetting.

"When I am on set I still feel a bit of an outsider.

"But if I have the winner this year, I can come in next year and say 'RIGHT!' - and be different."

Tonight Dannii takes Rhydian Roberts and Leon Jackson into the semi finals of the ITV1 show against Simon's Same Difference and Louis' Niki Evans.
