Dannii Minogue has effectively confirmed that she won't be returning to the UK X Factor in the future.

The Aussie star was a judge on the show from 2007 before leaving in 2011 to concentrate on working on Australia's Got Talent.

Minogue was heavily linked with a return to the X Factor this year after Kelly Rowland left the show, but she told Glamour that she decided against it. She said:

"I was offered the chance to return, but I decided it wasn't the right thing for me. It didn't fit in with arrangements I'd made for Australia's Got Talent."

Minogue continued: "I have been with AGT since the first episode and it's filmed in my home town. I had four incredible years on The X Factor but the show has moved on and so have I. The X Factor will always have a special place in my heart. I'm still in contact with the contestants."

Former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger was picked as Rowland's replacement for the 2012 X Factor, with filming starting earlier this year.
