Any rumours of rivalry between Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue should be laid to rest - after Cheryl described her fellow X Factor judge as 'a gorgeous woman'. Speaking at the X Factor finalists' press conference, ahead of the show's final this weekend, Cheryl said: "I've got a huge amount of admiration for Dannii this year, just having a baby. She's literally breast-feeding one second and we're filming the next." "I think she looks absolutely incredible and she is a gorgeous woman." Dannii admitted that baby Ethan was backstage at The X Factor 'the whole time'. CLICK below to watch an interview with Cheryl and Dannii
