Despite reports to the contrary, it looks like Dannii Minogue might be back for for next year’s X Factor after all. heatworld was at the X Factor finalists press conference this afternoon, and was shocked when someone asked outright if Ms Minogue would keep her seat warm as a judge on the next series. It was a question which caused Dannii to lean over the table where the judges were sitting, look purposefully at Simon, before staring at the very high ceilings in the X Factor HQ building for what seemed like an age. Simon stepped in to save the day, saying he’d expect the line-up to remain the same as it is for 2009. Crikey! He said, “We’re going to sit down with everyone in January – I thought last year Sharon was coming back. We’ve got to get the contracts sorted out, but I’d be surprised if it’s a different line up.” And Simon – who was in a rather jolly mood – joked about Louis Walsh’s return, telling reporters, “Louis' going to have some work done,” to which Louis replied, “Well, I want to do the gig, so I’ll do it.” Do you want to see Dannii stick around, or should they replace her with a new face?
