Louis Walsh has complimented his fellow X Factor judge and mentor Dannii Minogue for her performance on the show this year.
The show is normally known for the fiery fights and regular disagreements that the judges have but apparently Danni and Louis are getting very close.
The Irish judge, who fiercely argued on-air with Dannii in the 2007 and 2008 shows, confirmed on the Paul O’Grady show that he has been very impressed by his Australian co-star this year.
He told the host: "Dannii is playing a blinder this year.”
He then added: "She's worked really hard, she's very professional and she gives everything to the show. I have to say - everything."
Show insiders have even hinted that there was a ‘love-fest’ between the pair at the recent audition rounds.
Dannii is currently mentoring Stacey Solomon, who is the only female left in the competition, while Louis is still standing strong with the controversial twins, John and Edward Grimes.
The X Factor continues this Saturday on STV at 8pm.
