Dannii Minogue is to be dropped from The X Factor judging panel to make way for Sharon Osbourne’s return, Louis Walsh has told the Daily Star. “I expect Sharon to come back next year,” Louis explained. "And obviously Dannii would be the one to go - having Sharon and Cheryl on the show together is too good an opportunity to miss. The thing about Sharon is she can't be controlled. At the moment Simon has three judges, who, let's face it, he controls. With Sharon we never knew what she was going to do next - she was so unpredictable."
