This Is How Dannii Minogue Really Feels About That Infamous Sharon Osbourne And Graham Norton Clip
Dannii Minogue has reflected on an infamous Sharon Osbourne interview on Graham Norton's talk show, in which her former X Factor colleague and the talk show host publicly 'tore her to pieces'.
Back in 2007, the pair shared the X Factor panel for one season, and it's fair to say they didn't exactly see eye to eye during that time.
Things culminated when, towards the end of the series, Sharon made an appearance on The Graham Norton Show in which she made a series of disparaging remarks about the Put The Needle On It singer.
'What's going on?' Graham asked early on in the conversation, gesturing towards his face, suggesting Dannii looks 'bizarre' and 'like a spoon with hair'.
Sharon responded: 'I feel bad for her because she knows she's there because of her looks, not for her musical contributions to the music industry…'
When fellow guest David Boreanaz asked if he could see a picture of Dannii, Sharon then pointed her bum in his direction and said 'look at this', before collapsing to the floor in laughter.
During a new interview on Elizabeth Day's podcast How To Fail, Dannii reflected on some of the harsh treatment she'd had over the years in the media.
'And then there was a pile on… Sharon Osborne [and] Graham Norton,' she said.
The host told her: 'What really shocked me [when] I went back and re-watched the Graham Norton show with Sharon Osborne. I'm so sorry. It was so awful.'
'It is,' Dannii responded. 'I think the difference was, it wasn't being rude. There had to be production meetings to set up the things that they were doing on set in this show, and these huge personalities that I looked up to and just loved what they had done. I'd loved Sharon Osbourne on X Factor. I'd love her on The Osbournes. I loved what Graham Norton was doing, and here were these people just tearing me to pieces.
'That show would never be made today. At the time, people didn't realise how wild it was, and I remember going home and having to sit and watch it so that I knew what had happened and I could not believe my eyes. It's not just the people who are in front of the camera, it's the people who are behind the cameras. Everyone that worked to create that. It is absolutely wild.'
In her 2010 autobiography My Story, Dannii claimed that Sharon had once reduced her to tears after laying into her behind the scenes of her dressing room.
Comparing the former Celebrity Big Brother star to a 'school bully', she said: 'I had to put up with insults flying at me both on and off screen. Over the course of the next year, Sharon announced to anyone who would listen that I was impossible to work with (but never explained why), that I was only on The X Factor because of my looks, not any visible talent or contribution to the entertainment industry and Simon employed me only because he wanted to sleep with me.'
In her own 2013 book Unbreakable, Sharon wrote: 'Outwardly, Dannii seemed all, 'Ooh, I love kids and puppies'. But in my opinion she was dark, very dark. What you saw was definitely not what you got.'
However, in the CBB house last year, Sharon insisted that she and Dannii were now 'alright' with one another.

Woman who wanted family home for therapy dogs loses inheritance battle
A former NHS worker has lost her inheritance battle over her late mother's £420,000 home. Sharon Duggan, 49, told her sisters Brenda, 55, and Ann, 60, that they couldn't have their thirds of the house in Southgate, Crawley, because she needed it for her and her emotional support dogs. But a judge has now ruled 'hyper-vigilant' Sharon can move into a flat instead, and the house must be shared equally among the sisters as laid out in their mother Agnes's will. Agnes Duggan died in August 2018, aged 78, and left her house to be split equally between her three daughters – Ann, the oldest sister, Sharon, a former NHS medical secretary, and Brenda, an alternative therapist. But Sharon – who told a judge she 'is dyslexic and suffers from a variety of health issues, including chronic fatigue syndrome, migraine, fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety, insomnia, PTSD, and Adjustment Disorder (and) also has long Covid' – claimed the house for herself and her rescue dogs, saying she was too sensitive for life in a flat. Sharon sued her two sisters under the 1975 Inheritance Act, claiming her medical ailments and sensitivity to noise meant she should get at least a life interest in the property. Although Ann remained neutral in the dispute, Brenda fought the case and has now won, after Judge Alan Johns KC threw out Sharon's claim at Central London county court. The court heard that most of Agnes's estate was tied up in her house, where Sharon had lived and cared for her during her final dementia-stricken years. But after Agnes died, Sharon insisted her needs outweighed her sisters' right to their inheritance, arguing that it would be difficult to find alternative accommodation for her and her two therapy dogs, which 'help with her mental and emotional well-being'. Sharon said she 'sacrificed' her career to move in and care for Agnes in 2014, before arguing their mother was planning to change her will to leave the house to her. She also claimed to have spent £30,000 funding Agnes's vet bills for her dog, Lady, and that she 'psychologically could not cope with living in a flat again'. Her written arguments to the court said 'she is anxious that neighbours may cause disturbances and impact upon her ability to sleep. She now has two rescue dogs, which help with her mental and emotional well-being, but which make finding suitable alternative accommodation difficult. 'The claimant maintains that moving from the property would affect her mental health greatly and that having to move into rented or temporary accommodation would further affect her health negatively.' She told the court: 'I have two dogs to consider and I am hyper-vigilant and sound-sensitive. 'A flat would not be suitable due to the noise levels. I would be better off living in a car, I couldn't cope with it.' Sharon wanted either the house to be transferred to her outright, the right to a life interest, or an order allowing her to buy her mother's old property for a small sum to be raised with a mortgage. But Brenda, who formerly ran a bioresonance therapy company and a business providing gluten-free altar bread to food-intolerant Catholics, defended the claim, insisting Sharon and her pets could move into a flat. Ruling against Sharon, Judge Johns said: 'It's my judgment that there has been no failure to make reasonable financial provision for her. 'I am not satisfied there was any promise that the property would be Sharon's – and certainly not a promise that Sharon was confident would be carried out.' He said she had lived with Agnes rent-free and, although she had spent time caring for her mum while in declining health, the court's role wasn't simply to 'reward meritorious conduct'. 'Given the circumstances in which Sharon occupied the property with Agnes, there's no moral claim strong enough to deprive her sisters of their share of this modest estate,' he said. 'I don't rule out flats as suitable accommodation,' he added, also noting that Sharon should be able to work once the court case is behind her. He also rejected her claim that Brenda was estranged from their mum towards the end of her life. 'Brenda told me that she tried to see her mother and call her, but that that wasn't permitted by Sharon,' he said. 'That evidence included that her telephone calls were blocked and I accept all that evidence.' 'This is a modest estate and Agnes had two other daughters to think of,' he said, adding that the money Sharon claimed to have spent on Lady's vet bills was an overestimate. 'Essentially, provision was made for Sharon by giving her one-third of the estate.' The decision means the three sisters are each due a third of their mother's estate, although Sharon's share could be wiped out by the court bills for the trial.
