Sharon Osbourne wants to join ‘disco queen’ Dannii on The X Factor judging panel

She may have had huge beef with co-judge Dannii Minogue, but Sharon Osbourne still insists she wants to return to The X Factor.

The America’s Got Talent judge said she’ll happily return “home” to take up her old seat on the judging panel “alongside Louis and Dannii”.

“It’s fair to enough to say we didn’t get on for a long time,” she told The Sunday Mirror. But that’s all in the past. Dannii used to be an old Eighties disco queen to me but now she’s blossomed into a true woman and I have respect for her.”

Well Shazza, if there’s one way to get back into Dannii’s good books, it’s probably not by calling her an ‘old Eighties disco queen’ but hey, your intentions were good so we’ll leave it at that.

We think we’d quite like to see feisty Mrs O back on the judging panel, some of her massive strops made up some of the funniest scenes during the old X Factor days. Sadly, despite how much she wants it, it doesn’t seem like Simon Cowell will allow her to return. “Simon doesn’t want me back,” Sharon explained. “He’s definitely keeping Dannii and Louis on the show when he and Cheryl Cole go to the US but he’s not even asked me about returning. I think he’s scared about not being able to control me if he’s away in America.”

Well, for what it’s worth, we think she’s right about that last bit. Sharon Osbourne is, after all, totally uncontrollable. Oh come on Simon, bring her back!
