Dannii Minogue has revealed she’s not yet decided whether she’ll return for this year’s series of The X Factor.

The first round of auditions - with just the show’s production team - started last month and the judges are expected to see the first contestants next month - but Dannii hasn’t yet decided whether or not to return to the show, alongside fellow judges Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh.

Dannii, who is currently in her native Australia with boyfriend Kris Smith, told OK magazine: “Nothing is decided. We will know soon either way.

“At the moment we are talking. It is a big step.

“It is not something I want to make lightly or stupidly.

“There is a lot of thought going into this.”

Dannii’s position on the show was rumoured to be at risk throughout the last series because of the public’s reaction to new judge, Girls Aloud star Cheryl.
