Pop star Dannii Minogue is set to return as an 'X Factor' judge, if reports are to be believed.
Though Dannii left the show after she allegedly had feud with fellow judges Cheryl Cole and former judge Sharon Stone, she will be donning the judge's cap again because the show's boss Simon Cowell has failed to find an apt replacement.
"The chances of Dannii making a return were looking exceptionally bleak as recently as a fortnight ago. Now Simon has given the green light for her return. The line-up is going to be exactly the same as last year, despite all the speculation," The Sun quoted a source as saying.
"She has had a tough run over the last couple of years and she has no intention of giving up now. Dannii has been playing a clever game on her contract negotiations," the source added.
X Factor chiefs will meet Dannii' s agent to agree a deal ahead of X Factor auditions.
"She has made it clear she loves the show but hasn't shown her hand publicly about her desire to return," the source said.
