Posted April 16, 201213 yr Simon Cowell and Dannii Minogue were lovers, it has been claimed. The X Factor judges' alleged affair has been revealed in extracts from former BBC journalist Tom Bower's book The Intimate Life Of Simon Cowell published in The Sun. © WENN / Spiller/WENN.com © PA Images / John Phillips/EMPICS Entertainment "I had a crush on her. It was Dannii's hair, the sexy clothes and the t**s. I was like a schoolboy," he is quoted as saying. "She was foxy. She was a real man's girl. Very feminine. It was genuine love." The short-lived relationship is alleged to have taken place in 2007, after Cowell split from Terri Seymour but before Minogue became involved with Kris Smith. The singer apparently caught Cowell's eye when he added her to the X Factor panel, describing her as his "new toy". "Every guy in the world fancies Dannii. She's become a sex symbol since joining the show, and the contestants love her. She's got that Sophia Loren, movie-star sex appeal, I love sitting next to her," Cowell said of his then new recruit. The pair denied the romance when rumours first surfaced in 2008. Cowell became "mesmerised" with Cheryl Cole once his fling with Minogue cooled, the report adds. Cowell, who reportedly enjoyed Minogue's feud with Sharon Osbourne, is also said to have tried it on with Natalie Imbruglia as recently as last year, but only got a kiss and a cuddle. Minogue was recently reported to be "inconsolable" after splitting from Smith.
April 16, 201213 yr What on earth would Dannii see in Simon Cowell? Apart from a payrise and keeping her job. Edited April 16, 201213 yr by slowdown73
April 19, 201213 yr Musically I never rated Dannii Minogue. Initially, when she joined X Factor i thought what the hell was she judging a talent show for. That said,my perception changed as i liked her judging style, her judging i believed came from her heart, it was real truthful and honest and i was disapointed she left the show. What she saw in Simon Cowell baffles me, but the whole sordid story takes away from all her excellent work on the show and it now looks like she was only there because she was seeing Simon which takes away any credability she has managed to achieve on the show.
April 23, 201213 yr Author Ya it appears to be all true now, but i agree i would have have thought Louis Walshe was more Simon's style.
