Danni quits X-factor
This week it was reported that Dannii Minogue quit her role as a judge on X-factor because it clashes with the live shows of Australia’s Got Talent, which she has been on since 2007.

On The Other hand some people feel she may have been forced out on purpose by X Factor bosses. However Simon Cowell’s publicist Max Clifford has denied these rumours saying “He (Simon) definitely wanted to keep her in because she was very popular and has worked very well. But in the last few months, because of the American X Factor, this X Factor has had an awful lot of juggling going on and it’s a question of getting the best possible combination.”

However bosses of the UK version of the US show The Voice are keen to take Danni on as a judge. An insider has said “Bosses really want Dannii, as she was hugely popular on the X Factor and really knows her stuff. She mentored Matt Cardle to the crown last year and is really good with contestants. She would be great on The Voice.”

The Voice is a talent show in were the judges, including Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green, face the audience and can’t see the singer, so that it is really all about the voice.

Shipwrecked
The popular T4 programme Shipwrecked has had a two year break but will be returning to our screens later this year
The show watches contestants spilt into two teams, The Tigers and The Sharks who live on opposite Islands near New Zealand. The aim of the game is for them to stay on the Islands for as long as they can and gain for new members. The largest team then wins a cash prize. However in the new series the format may be slightly different.

Neil McCallum, head of T4 and Music said: “As one of the pioneering reality shows, ‘Shipwrecked’ has always proved to be a firm favourite amongst T4 fans. So it’s great to be bringing the show back this autumn, with its refreshed format and new back to basics approach to island life.”

Executive Producer Tayte Simpson added: “The rules and format will be kept tightly under wraps, but we can say that applicants should be prepared for the experience to be tougher than ever. Yes it’s paradise, but this is no summer holiday.”
