Cheryl's monster payrise

Danni Minogue has once again proclaimed how much she loves new X Factor judge Cheryl Cole and rubbished rumours of bitter rivalry between the pair.

The 36-year-old also put an end to speculations that she was about to quit the show because she doesn't get as much airtime as new girl Cheryl. Last night Dannii insisted: "I'm not jealous. I'm not furious. We are all one big happy family."

Apparently the girls were sharing lunch everyday during X Factor auditions and even ganged up against Simon, who they  felt was becoming too bossy.

We wonder how long this front of unity is going to last when Dannii finds out about the massive pay rise that the high-waisted one has just offered Mrs Cole, though.

Apparently Simon is desperate to sign Girls Aloud babe Cheryl for another X Factor series and has increased her pay by 100%, bringing it up to £1,000,000.

Cheryl, who is currently in talks with the band to do a  US  tour, proved an instant hit with viewers so Simon wants to get in before she signs up for other commitments.

If Cheryl accepts the generous offer she will earn approximately £100,000 more than fellow judge Dannii.
