Dannii Minogue has responded to Cheryl Cole’s appointment as X Factor judge with some new plastic surgery, according to rumours on set.
The Australian star is widely known to have welcomed Sharon Osbourne’s exit from the show, but according to a production source she is now intent on competing with her younger Girls Aloud replacement.
The insider tells the Daily Mirror, “Dannii walked into Arsenal's Emirates stadium for the auditions and you could tell she'd put in a lot of work into looking good. She knows there's a younger, more successful, more attractive kid on the block and they will both be fighting for attention.
"Dannii's face seems a lot tighter than last year and everyone is gossiping that she's had a bit of work done.
"She's 36 and Cheryl is just 24 and she's desperate not to be cast as the older Sharon Osbourne type - she wants to be Cheryl's equal. But it isn't working out like that.
"She's not happy that Cheryl is on £800,000, just £100,000 less than her. She feels there should be a bigger gap and, with Sharon gone, she should be earning nearer her £1.5m pay packet."
