Singer and former X Factor panelist Dannii Minogue has spoken out about the book that tells of her supposed romantic involvement with music mogul Simon Cowell. 

Tom Bower's biography 'Sweet Revenge: The Intimate Life of Simon Cowell' caused something of a stir once it was released and despite being sold as an unofficial book, Cowell apologised for its content and explained that he was sorry if it embarrassed anyone. 

Minogue has now addressed the biography and credited the journalists for putting "hundreds of hours into making" it, saying it probably "makes for a great read":

"I haven't read the book, but I've been told about the excerpts that relate to me and the speculation about my private life. From what's been reported they -- Tom and Simon -- put hundreds of hours into making this book, and Tom is a respected journalist."

"They looked very pleased with it all at their launch. I'm sure it makes for a great read and I wish them the best."
