Dannii Minogue has recalled the moment she watched Sharon Osbourne and Graham Norton ‘tear her to pieces’ with cruel jokes about her looks and talent during a 2007 appearance on the Irish comedian’s BBC chat show. 

The singer, 53, who was a judge on the X Factor with Sharon at the time, described it as a ‘pile on’ and blamed Graham and the show’s production crew for ‘setting it up’.

Speaking on How to Fail with Elizabeth Day Danni said: ‘I think the difference was it wasn’t being rude. There had to be production meetings to set up the things that they were doing on set in this show and these huge personalities that I looked up to and just loved what they had done’.

‘I’d loved Sharon Osbourne on X Factor. I’d love her on the Osborne’s. I loved what Graham Norton was doing, and here were these people just tearing me to pieces. That show would never be made today’. 

During the show the host brought up Dannii and mocked her appearance saying she ‘looked bizarre’ before he and his guest viciously poked fun at her Australian accent and apparent lack of musical talent at length.

Sharon said: ‘She knows she’s there for her looks, not her contributions to the music industry’ before going on to claim that Dannii was only on the show because boss Simon Cowell ‘wanted her’.

When fellow guest and Buffy star David Boreanaz asked if he could see a pH๏τo of Dannii, the former Osbourne’s star said ‘look at this’ and showed him her bottom.

Danni said that she ‘couldn’t believe her eyes’ when she watched the show in order to understand what all the fuss was about. 

MailOnline have contacted BBC, Sharon Osbourne and Graham Norton’s reps for comment.

Last year during her appearance on Celebrity Big Brother Sharon discussed her history with Dannii.

The pair were judges on The X Factor together for only one season, but allegedly clashed over Dannii’s relationship with Simon. Sharon quit the show the following year.

David Potts asked Sharon whether it was ‘awkward’ working with Dannii on the show, and Louis Walsh added: ‘Wouldn’t we be standing there, Sharon, and nobody talking?’.

Laughing, Sharon said: ‘That was so f*****g tough,’ and Louis admitted that there was a similarly bad atmosphere ‘every season.’

Sharon explained that during the live shows, as soon as the cameras started rolling, she would grab Dannii’s hand and hold it in the air.

‘I grabbed her hand and went like this, when the doors opened, and she’s like trying to (let go) but I’d push her up,’ she said.

But Sharon appeared to have moved on from her feud with Dannii, saying: ‘Yeah she’s alright, she’s alright.’

Sharon and Dannii Minogue made no secret of their dislike for each other during their time together on X Factor as they embroiled in a public spat.

Dannii revealed at the time that Sharon screamed abuse at her in her dressing room and reduced her to tears just minutes before she was due on stage.

After Dannii joined the show, stories circulated in the press about how Sharon was utterly distraught that Dannii had been made a judge and feared it meant she herself was on the way out.

Storming into Dannii’s dressing room, she accused the Australian singer of speaking negatively about her to the press as she screamed: ‘I don’t need this! ‘I’m a mother, for f***’s sake, do you think I need all this s*** in my life?’.

In 2013, Sharon spoke out about the feud as she branded the time she spent with Dannii on the ITV1 talent show as ‘unbearable’, ‘intolerable’ and ‘an odious chore’.

In an extract of her new book Unbreakable, serialised in The Sun, she said: ‘Outwardly, Dannii seemed all, “Ooh, I love kids and puppies”. But in my opinion she was dark, very dark. What you saw was definitely not what you got.’

After quitting The X Factor, Sharon told Piers Morgan on his Life Stories that she couldn’t work with Dannii.

She said: ‘I didn’t hate her because hatred is very close to love and takes a lot of emotion and I don’t have that time for her.

‘She was like an insect, a mosquito that wouldn’t go away.’
