X FACTOR judge DANNII MINOGUE has spoken out about her thoughts on SHARON OSBOURNE's decision to quit the British talent show - branding the shock move a "dream".
Rock matriarch Osbourne left the programme earlier this month (Jun08) amid speculation of a bitter feud with Minogue - sister of superstar singer Kylie - and arguments with TV bosses over her pay deal.
And there is no love lost between the pair - with Australian pop star Minogue claiming the set was fraught with tension when Osbourne was around.
Minogue tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "It's just a dream. It's a very different set. No more eyes down during commercial breaks trying not to look tense. It wasn't the sort of environment I wanted to be in."
She adds, "I can't say I don't enjoy the current situation a lot more."
And the star insists she is determined not to have a similarly bitter relationship with new female judge Cheryl Cole - with Minogue breaking the ice with the Girl's Aloud star as soon as she arrived on the set of the ITV1 show.
She tells the publication, "We started off on a good foot. I went to her dressing room and said, 'Welcome to the set, let's have some fun'."
