Sharon Osbourne has launched a scathing attack on her rival X Factor judge Dannii Minogue - insisting the pop singer only landed the job because of her appearance.

The 54-year-old wife of rocker Ozzy Osbourne is set to further fuel her well-publicised feud with Minogue - sister of Kylie - when she appears on British TV on Thursday night (13Dec07).

She tells chat show host Graham Norton, "She knows she's there because of her looks, not because of her contribution to the music industry."

Osbourne also hints during the interview at a budding romance between the 36-year-old former soap star and Simon Cowell.

She says, "She's younger. She's better-looking. Simon wants her and he doesn't want me... thank God!" (CG/WNTMA)
