X Factor's Dannii And Sharon 'Hated Each Other'

X Factor finalists Same Difference have confirmed that judges Dannii Minogue and Sharon Osbourne “hated the sight of each other”.

Osbourne has now left the show, with fellow judge Louis Walsh commenting earlier this month that Sharon quit because of the antipathy she felt towards the singer.

Now brother and sister due Sean and Sarah Smith have confirmed the rivals were constantly warring on the hit ITV talent show.

Sean tells The People, “It was brimming with tension. Basically they hated the sight of each other."

Sarah added, “When you've got two ladies who are very similar, you get clashes."

Sean says he will be intrigued by how Sharon’s replacement, Girls Aloud’s Cheryl Cole, will fares on the show.

“I'm looking forward to seeing Dannii and Cheryl - who knows what will happen," he ponders.
