"After four years on The X Factor, Dannii Minogue announced yesterday that she is quitting the show. Her shock departure was blamed on scheduling conflicts and comes in the wake of a huge shake-up of the UK panel, as Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell work on the American version. Gary Barlow and N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos will allegedly replace them. Dannii&amp;#039;s roller coaster X Factor journey saw her secure two victories in the shape of Leon Jackson and, most recently, Matt Cardle. However, given her infamous feud with Sharon Osbourne, her rumoured estrangement from Cowell and her being reduced to tears on live TV by Louis Walsh, it was often reported that she would not return. She soon became a fan favourite though, with her constructive criticism, passion for the singers in Team Minogue and her grounded persona anchoring the theatrical circus that is The X Factor. With a musical comeback in the pipeline, her spot on Australia&amp;#039;s Got Talent, role as the face of M&amp;amp;S and - the most important job of all - being mum to ten-month-old Ethan, Dannii will certainly be kept busy. We take a look back at her career. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
