Sharon Osbourne and Graham Norton made fun of Dani Minogue in an interview that Dannii said “tore her to pieces” on the Irishman’s show.
Dannii Minogue has reignited her feud with Sharon Osbourne and Graham Norton after accusing the pair of ‘tearing her to pieces’ on TV. The Aussie, 53, was mocked on Graham’s BBC chat show in 2007, with former X Factor judge, Sharon, 72, claiming working with Dannii on the iconic ITV talent series was an “odious chore”.
The host, Graham, who has interviewed a number of famous people in his career, made fun of both her accent and the fact that she ‘looked odd’. Sharon, the matriarch of Osbourne, raised her hand and said, “look at this,” as David Boreanaz, the star of Buffy, demanded to see a picture of the Under Pressure star.
Revisiting the uncomfortable scenes on the podcast, How to Fail With Elizabeth Day, Dannii claims the show on BBC “would never be made today”. Claiming the pair had ‘torn her to pieces’, she said she believed Graham had set up the ‘cruel’ questions in advance, saying: “I think the difference was it wasn’t being rude. There had to be production meetings to set up the things that they were doing on set in this show and these huge personalities that I looked up to and just loved what they had done.”
Dannii continued: “I’d loved Sharon Osbourne on X Factor. I’d love her on the Osborne’s. I loved what Graham Norton was doing, and here were these people just tearing me to pieces. That show would never be made today.”
Dannii and Sharon have had a long-running feud ever since they started working on the X Factor together. After Dannii was rumoured to have been dating show boss, Simon Cowell, Sharon told Piers Morgan she couldn’t stand the younger sister of pop superstar, Kylie Minogue.
She explained why their fractious relationship on the Life Stories show was not her fault because she didn’t have the time to hate her. She resembled a mosquito that would never go away, like an insect.
In the meantime, Sharon openly claimed Dannii and Simon had a relationship in her autobiography Unbreakable. She allegedly acted rudely toward the boss, according to Sharon. She clearly felt that Simon’s abuse of her would result in her having so much immature power.
In her autobiography Dannii: My Story, Dannii compared Sharon to a “school bully,” asserting that, “after seeing her publicly destroy me on yet another television show or press interview that week, I felt as though I was back in primary school when I was forced to sit next to the bully.”
“Sonyrah revealed to anyone who would listen that I was impossible to work with because of my appearance, that I had no other way to contribute to the entertainment industry, and that Simon only hired me because he wanted to sleep with me,” Sharon said to anyone who would listen.
However, Sharon reacted back and claimed Dannii had an issue with her because of her strong character in an interview with Best Magazine a few months later, suggesting Dannii is a “flirt” and gets along better with men. She said, “I love women but there are some who don’t love other women, but we just have nothing in common. “Dannii didn’t care for me,” he said.
Graham’s representatives have been contacted by The Mirror to comment on this story. The representative of Sharon declined to comment.
