'Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model' contestant Danielle Sandhu found judge Dannii Minogue "scary".

The wannabe model - who was eliminated on last night's episode of the Sky Living HD reality competition (27.06.12) - has revealed the former 'X Factor' judge, who joins Elle Macpherson on the judging panel this year, was far more intimidating than the Australian beauty.

She told BANG Showbiz exclusively: "Dannii is a little more scarier [than Elle]. I didn't speak to her too much, but she is very opinionated and she will say what she thinks or what she sees."

The 20-year-old contestant also hints that Dannii, 41, has been enjoying a flirty relationship with fellow judge, American hunk Tyson Beckford.

She revealed: "You can call it flirting. They had a little banter going on."

Meanwhile, Danielle - who clashed with contestants Abigail Johns, Saffron Williams and Angel Mbonu - admits it was "frustrating" to be axed from the show before her rivals, who refused to chop their hair during the makeover session seen in last night's episode.

She said: "I initially thought that I wouldn't have to worry as much. I thought that [refusing to do a makeover] would come across worse than a bad picture. Abi did cause more of a scene about it. It was frustrating because I still went ahead and did what was asked."

But the fashion hopeful and self-proclaimed flirt was far more annoyed when she became timid around Olympic gymnast Louis Smith, who posed with the contestants for this week's photoshoot.

She explained: "It's weird because I am the biggest flirt. In front of men I normally am really confident and can't help but flirt. When I saw him ... he's a good looking guy. I went shy. It annoys me; I wish I hadn't been so nervous."

'Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model' airs Thursdays at 9pm on Sky Living HD.
