Minogue's Aussie auditions 'busted X-Factor's budget'

'X Factor' judge Dannii Minogue's house auditions in Australia cost TV bosses "a fortune", it has been claimed.

The luxury eight-day trip for eight contestants, crew and producers as well as hosts Dermot O'Leary and Konnie Huq, bust the show's budget, meaning the other judges had to make do with two-day trips at down-graded locations across Europe.
