Ms Minogue sent out a tweet of support to her former fellow judge, following Cheryl's shock exit from X Factor USA

Dannii Minogue has Tweeted her support for Cheryl Cole, following her former colleague's shock departure from X Factor USA.

No stranger to a spot of X Factor controversy herself - she quit the UK show amid rumours she felt 'pushed out' - Dannii reached out to her former colleague, re-tweeting the news then sending out a message backing Ms C.

'Judging roles should come with a life jacket, drop down oxygen and a life raft!' she posted on the social networking site.

She then added, 'Sending #Channii love.'

Cheryl has reportedly already returned to the UK in secret, after learning she'd lost her X Factor spot days ago. With still no word from show officials - or Cheryl’s own team – on exactly why the singer was removed from the show, talk has turned to what she'll will do next, with many tipping her to return to the UK version next month.
