Cheryl Cole has spoken out to quash rumors of an X Factor feud between herself and fellow judge Dannii Minogue.

“I wouldn’t say me and Dannii are good friends,” said the 25-year-old Girls Aloud singer. “But I didn’t come on the show to make friends, we are still getting to know each other.

“At the end of the day you’re sitting there doing a job.”

And fans hoping to see Dannii and Cheryl sing a duet are in for a disappointment.

Boss Simon Cowell insisted there was “zero” chance of that happening.

Simon has confessed he finds the X Factor audition process “tedious”.

He said, “Filming the auditions is like going to the dentist without anesthetic. It’s not fun. I don’t like it.”
