Australian-based singer, Danii Minogue, recently confirmed that she will not be coming back to be a judge in the widely popular TV show, X-Factor. Some people are speculating that the reason for this is the alleged affair between Simon Cowell and Minogue.

Danii was reportedly offered a huge amount of £1,000,000 which is equivalent to $1,600,000, but despite that huge amount, Minogue still opted to not renew her contract.
