Dannii Minogue deserves a seat on the X Factor UK judging panel, according to the outspoken Louis Walsh.

Walsh has been speaking to heat recently, with the Irishman slagging off rival show The Voice - calling it "boring".

He also told the magazine that he feels former X Factor judge Minogue deserves a seat on the judging panel - but didn't exactly give fellow former judge Cheryl Cole the same glowing report.

Commenting on recent reports surrounding claims made in a Simon Cowell biography about the music mogul and Minogue, Walsh said:

"They were always very flirty and there was always chemistry between them. I remember thinking at the time that Simon was always staring at her chest. His eyes would always be on her t*ts, never anywhere else."

Speaking about the judging panel, Walsh added: "I don't want to talk about Cheryl [Cole] - but Dannii went above and beyond and deserves a seat on that panel."
