X Factor 2010! Cheryl’s in, but what about Dannii?
By Sarah Karmali on Tuesday 15 December 2009
Never fear X Factor fans! The talent show will be back for another series in 2010, and Cheryl Cole WILL be on the judging panel - but Dannii Minogue has yet to confirm her attendance.
After Simon Cowell threatened to axe the show only days ago, the speculation over X Factor's future has finally been put to rest.
For a while it was thought that Simon might decide to put the show on hold next year, instead concentrating on launching the format in America.
There were also whispers that Cheryl Cole might be giving up her seat in order to concentrate on her Stateside career - but it has now been confirmed that not only will the nation's sweetheart be back for 2010, but she'll also be getting a massive boost to her £1.2 million deal.
But fellow judge Dannii Minogue's future remains uncertain. It is thought that the Aussie starlet is unhappy after being constantly asked to switch seats with Louis Walsh on the panel throughout the series.

‘I have no idea why I was told to change seats,' she said in an interview yesterday with Heat magazine. ‘ I was told four different reasons by four different people, who all said it was the other person's decision.'
‘I actually thought I might be judging from the side of the stage at one point,' she added.
We're a little devastated at the thought that our most stylish judge may not be returning...
Don't do it Dannii! We'll miss you!

Definitely wouldn't be the same without Dannii. I don't know why everyone makes such a big fuss about Cheryl. I hope this means that if Dannii does come back, they'll up her salary too.

Danni...you are classy and needed on the show..give a bit of sanity...U hold your own Girl!!!

I think Danni should stay. She has been a consumate professional this year, very dignified, positive & glamorous (except for that one comment re; Danyl). If anyone should go it should be Louis! Add another judge by all means OR replace LW with Robbie Williams, but definitely not the loud mouthed trashy Mel B!!

Dannii should definitely stay!! Cheryl is annoying at the best of times (especially with her try-hard frock choices) and the same goes for Louis. If they loose a classy, supportive mentor and judge like Dannii, the X Factor will be a complete shambles, with a panel made up of loud-mouthed judges that care more about what the public thinks of them rather than their contestants. Dannii brings style and balance - she can't go!

Keep Danni in- she is fabulous!!! I think it's time again for an 'x factor the rivals'. There must be some great new groups out there waiting to be formed.
Comment by traceywells on December 15 13:53
If anyone should go get rid of Louis!
The girls are fab - some of their fashion is a bit dubious though!
xxxxxxxxxx

I'm so glad to see everyone supporting Danni!
She has done a fantastic job this year!
Cherly on the other hand ....no thanks, she can go ! She is totally over rated and I'm sick of her being called the Nations Sweetheart !
I dont blame Danni for being upset with the way shes treated, from a viewers point of view its clear Simon couldnt care less about her and during the finals watching Simon & Cheryl hugging and holding each other was sickening!
Comment by Kylie Jane on December 15 14:35
Completely agree with Jill - Danni should stay, Louis should go.
Comment by Julie on December 15 14:41
Dannii is the only judge that gives honest opinions, Cheryl and Simon are too busy making each other and their acts look goods. Dannii is the best thing in the xfactor and was so dignified during the X factor. So classy and pretty
Comment by Team Dannii on December 15 16:27
OH THE JOY OF CHERYL STAYING (NOT)
Danni will be better off without them anyway, but as a judge she has knowledge, is (usually) truthful and has the best style NO CONTEST. At least danni isnt on there to win support from the public like cheryl is..
Comment by Serina on December 15 16:36
As long as Simon is there, don't really care who the other judges are!
Comment by Jess on December 16 09:41
Danni is classy and dignified I agree with Jill above...
She is centred and not bitchy...
lovely for the show. but now she is pregnant who knows...
Good luck to her
Comment by anon on January 13 19:48
i reallyy want dannni to leave the x factor coz id rather have robbie williams as a judge on x factor he has had more experience and he would make a great mentor
dannii gets big headed and over competitive cheryl is a fabulous judge and she should stay for at least another year dannii is pregnant so she should leave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment by shenazJLSfan4lyfii on February 11 10:20
I think Dannii should stay because she is a good judge. Amy Cheryl is not annoying i like her. If Dannii does go due to baby Kinmberly walsh should take place so Cheryl will have one of her band mates
Comment by Georgie Reik on February 28 15:08
Louis should go after what he did with Jedward!! they were pants an he kept them in becuase they were irish just like him... that was not fair on the other groups that were better than Jedward!! I think Robbie Williams should take Louis's place!!! GET LOUIS OUT!!!! Keep Cheryl, Dannii & Simon and replace Louis with Robbie !!
Comment by Stokie Gemma on February 28 17:03

Comment by david on March 29 22:43
The X Factor would not be the same without Sharon Osbourne she is fabulous perison and I had only just come around and decide too watch them on the video clips it would be nice to have Simon Loui Cheryl and Sharon if Dannii becomes a mum any time soon I do love all the judges and I wonder whos this wonderful Sharon I like them all I really think Sharon is mine favent she is a good laugh nice courla hair looking forward too watch it in next series me
Comment by Nicola Bannister on April 13 14:42
To be honest ill be happy if danni goes!!!!! Cant stand her. BRING BACK SHRRON!!!!!
Comment by Zoe on May 11 17:49
I like Dannii, she is a brilliant judge.
If she is not leaving then they should get rid of louis walsh and replace him...
but on the other hand, if she is leaving then I think they should replace her with Kym Marsh! :D
Comment by Anna Hughes on June 06 11:37
I agree with most of the above coments, Danni is definately the better judge, Cheryl is a total fake, loves herself, mouthy so and so and has no talent to save her life, she is only on tv because of her looks and most of them are enhanced (air brushing, false hair, false eyelashes, fake tan and the rest). GET RID OF HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment by suky on July 22 04:09
I Agree With David
Comment by ????? on August 20 07:43
I think cheryl because she wears better clothes than dannii and she has a better vocie so she will know who to win the X Factor.
Comment by hannah long on August 21 13:40
I think it would have been a better and fairer selection of talents if Danni and Cheryl were left out of this years judging. After watching this weeks show it was a dsigrace to see people picked who did not perform and could'nt remember their lines. Considering there was so much talent on offer it seems almost fixed. I was disgusted by what Cheryl could get away with there should be rules to this sort of thing! Shame on you Simon for allowing this to happen after all you are the Big Boss are'nt you? As far as Cheryl is concerened she would find it hard to recongnise talent lets face it she has very little of her own or is a case of keeping the good ones out of the picture just to keep her in the race? X Factor should think carefully about who they make chose for judges next time round, or they might just find their ratings going down, but who could blame the viewers the whole thing seems to be one big fix.

Danni pls think twice u are a better judge then Cherly, she thinks just to much of herself and its not a fashion show. U are a matured person and love u to bits. Cherly should not sit next to Simon as at times they act like children and fussy over her it shows.
