'X Factor' in crisis after Dannii departure

The ‘X Factor’ is facing a huge crisis after Dannii Minogue controversially departed the show.

The Australian judge – who won last year’s series with her act Matt Cardle – released a statement explaining she quit her role on the panel to concentrate on ‘Australia’s Got Talent’ but it has now been claimed she was axed in favour of N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos, leaving fans of the ITV1 show furious.
