Dannii Minogue has been snubbed by Cheryl Cole after trying to build bridges with her X Factor co-star, according to a report today.

The Sunday Mirror claims that Minogue has felt “isolated” on the show’s panel this year and is worried about her future after receiving weeks of bad press.

“Dannii fears that her days on the show could be numbered unless she can get back on side with the other judges,” an insider told the newspaper. “Recently she has been trying to get in with Cheryl by inviting her to lunch and suggesting nights out together. But Cheryl keeps making excuses.”

Tension on the ITV1 talent series reached boiling point last night as Minogue broke down in tears following a row with Louis Walsh.

The source revealed: “Things are getting very tense. Dannii felt she was being isolated on the panel and publicly humiliated.”
