Dannii Minogue's Burlesque Tips

Dannii Minogue will take style inspiration from Dita Von Teese in the new series of 'The X Factor'.

The Australian judge says she is a big fan of the burlesque dancer and wants to copy her wardrobe for her next stint on the panel of the TV talent show.

She said: "Who's my beauty icon? It's got to be Dita Von Teese. Nobody beats her for the power look."

Dannii – who has been dating former rugby star Kris Smith for six months – also hinted at having a crush on fellow 'X Factor' judge Simon Cowell, who has recently been spotted with flecks of grey in his black hair.

Who's my beauty icon? It's got to be Dita Von Teese. Nobody beats her for the power look.

She laughed: "I am a total sucker for me with grey hair."

Simon also recently quashed rumours that Dannii was set to be replaced on 'The X Factor', amidst reports of tension between her and fellow judge Cheryl Cole.

He said: "As far as the judging panel is concerned, let's just say that if I was a betting man my money would be on Dannii returning to the show. She was great last year and I am adamant she should be there for the next series. All being well, pen will be put to paper this week.

"Despite all the fuss concerning Dannii and Cheryl, I think the four judges worked really well together and gelled. There was an excellent chemistry.

"There's been a lost of rubbish written about just who will be on the show with people like Victoria Beckham supposedly in the frame. That was absolute nonsense - I never approached her."
