Why did Dannii Minogue leave The X Factor?
Dannii appeared on The X Factor until 2010.
In 2011, she quit the UK and moved back to her native Australia after suffering “anxiety, depression and stress”.
She reportedly fell out with fellow judge Sharon Osbourne, and was romantically linked to Simon Cowell – something she denies.
By the time Dannii quit the judging panel in 2011, the singer and actress said she was “broken”.
Speaking to the Herald Sun, she said at the time: “There were a lot of people conspiring to make that happen and it brought a lot of people enjoyment to see me so under the pump.
“I get that it is a TV show; it is entertainment [and] there is quite a game involved with the business.
“But you have to be fair and it just got to the point where I was so unhappy.”
Dannii Minogue appears on RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under on Monday May 10 2021 at 11.40pm on BBC One.
