How Dannii Minogue Really Feels About That Famous 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 loved 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.

Dannii Minogue recalls Sharon Osbourne and Graham Norton 'tearing her to pieces' on chat show
Dannii Minogue has recalled Sharon Osbourne and Graham Norton "tearing (her) to pieces" on a talk show in 2007. During an appearance on the How to Fail with Elizabeth Day podcast, the singer and TV personality opened up about the "pile on" of negativity she endured when she was a judge on The X Factor between 2007 and 2010. The 53-year-old felt that there was a "free-for-all" against her because she was an "easy target" as Kylie Minogue's younger singer. Citing a particular example, Dannii remembered when her fellow X Factor judge Sharon went on The Graham Norton Show and she and the chat show host made mean jokes about her appearance and talent. "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," Dannii said. "I'd loved Sharon Osbourne on X Factor. I'd love(d) her on the Osbornes. 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." During the episode, Sharon and Graham criticised Dannii's appearance, Australian accent and what they perceived as her lack of musical talent, with The Osbournes star savagely stating, "She knows she's there for her looks, not her contributions to the music industry." Dannii told podcast host Elizabeth that nobody who publicly ridiculed her has ever apologised. For most of her time on The X Factor, Dannii judged the contestants alongside Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Cheryl. She only worked with Sharon on the 2007 edition.

Dannii Minogue reignites feud with two stars after being 'torn to pieces' on TV
Dannii Minogue was mocked by former X Factor judge, Sharon Osbourne, and Graham Norton on the Irishman's show in an interview, which Dannii said 'tore her to pieces' Dannii Minogue has reignited her feud with Sharon Osbourne and Graham Norton after accusing the pair of 'tearing her to pieces' on TV. The Aussie, 53, was mocked on Graham's BBC chat show in 2007, with former X Factor judge, Sharon, 72, claiming working with Dannii on the iconic ITV talent series was an "odious chore". Host, Graham, who has interviewed a number of high-profile stars in his career, claimed the mum-of-one 'looked bizarre' while also mocking her accent. Adding further fuel to the fire, Osbourne matriarch, Sharon, stood up and pointed to her behind and said "look at this" when Buffy star, David Boreanaz, asked to see a photo of the Under Pressure star. Revisiting the uncomfortable scenes on the podcast, How to Fail With Elizabeth Day, Dannii claims the show on BBC"would never be made today". Claiming the pair had 'torn her to pieces', she said she believed Graham had set up the 'cruel' questions in advance, saying: "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." Dannii continued: "I'd loved Sharon Osbourne on X Factor. I'd love her on the Osborne's. I loved what Graham Norton was doing, and here were these people just tearing me to pieces. That show would never be made today." Dannii and Sharon have had a long-running feud ever since they started working on the X Factor together. After Dannii was rumoured to have been dating show boss, Simon Cowell, Sharon told Piers Morgan she couldn't stand the younger sister of pop superstar, Kylie Minogue. Lifting the lid on their fractious relationship on the Life Stories show, she said: "I didn't hate her because hatred is very close to love and takes a lot of emotion and I don't have that time for her. She was like an insect, a mosquito that wouldn't go away." Meanwhile, in Sharon's autobiography Unbreakable, she openly accused Dannii of having it off with Simon. "She had an uppity attitude as she was f***ing the boss," Sharon wrote. "She clearly felt sh***ing Simon gave her vicarious power and it was so immature, not to mention deeply irritating to deal with." Countering, Dannii compared Sharon to a 'school bully', writing in her autobiography, Dannii: My Story:"When I sat on the judging panel next to Sharon each Saturday, having seen her publicly destroy me on yet another television show or press interview that week, I felt as if I was back at primary school when I was forced to sit next to the school bully. "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." But, clapping back, Sharon took a direct swipe at Dannii in an interview with Best Magazine a few months later, claiming that the singer had an issue with her due to her strong character - and suggested Dannii is a 'flirt' and gets on better with men. "We just have nothing in common," she swiped, adding: "I love women but there are some who don't love other women. Dannii didn't care for me."
