X Factor - Sharon Osbourne vs Dannii Minogue
22 October 2007 - Sharon Osbourne reportedly walked out on X Factor on Saturday night following a massive backstage bust-up with fellow judge Dannii Minogue.
Sharon allegedly launched a stinging attack on the former Australian soap star just minutes before the show went on air.
According to insiders, Sharon went to Dannii's dressing room to wish her a happy 36th birthday, but before long had the Aussie in tears.
A source revealed: "All of Sharon's frustrations came out. Dannii tried to stay calm but there's not much you can do when Sharon's at full throttle."
"She's been jealous of Dannii getting all the attention and publicity ever since she was bought on the show.
"Dannii was crying so badly she had to have her make-up redone three times."
