In her 2010 autobiography My Story, Dannii claimed that Sharon had once reduced her to tears after laying into her behind the scenes of her dressing room.
Comparing the former Celebrity Big Brother star to a “school bully”, she said: “I had to put up with insults flying at me both on and off screen. Over the course of the next year, Sharon announced to anyone who would listen that I was impossible to work with (but never explained why), that I was only on The X Factor because of my looks, not any visible talent or contribution to the entertainment industry and Simon employed me only because he wanted to sleep with me.”
In her own 2013 book Unbreakable, Sharon wrote: “Outwardly, Dannii seemed all, ‘Ooh, I love kids and puppies’. But in my opinion she was dark, very dark. What you saw was definitely not what you got.”
However, in the CBB house last year, Sharon insisted that she and Dannii were now “alright” with one another.
