Jason Donovan is no fan of Louis Walsh

At the time, Dannii was upset that he had written about her sister and his ex, Kylie.

Jason also reckons Louis Walsh’s “time is up” on the show.

He also told how he has been asked to reappear in Neighbours, the Aussie soap that launched his career back in the 1980s, but he will never go back on the show.

Jason, about to be a dad for the third time, said: “Dannii’s doing pretty well on The X Factor.

“We fell out when I released my book because there were two chapters about Kylie. Now she’s got her own book out!

“On X Factor, there’s a lot of infighting between Simon and Cheryl and Louis at the moment.

“Dannii is sort of taking a back seat.

“She is doing really well, I really respect her. She really puts the time in.

“Cheryl Cole is such a massive pop star and personality. Simon is Simon and Louis is like this geek that sits at the end of the table.

“I think his time’s up, definitely.”
