Back for more: Dannii Minogue intends to return to X Factor

She will be missing this year's auditions as she will be flying back to Australia to have her first child in July.

However, she has every intention of returning for the the judges' houses segment and the live shows.

A source close to the singer said she had enjoyed a lunch with X Factor executive producer Richard Holloway and said: "Dannii made it clear that she could definitely make it work.

"She is very keen to work and could easily return for judges' houses, which is filmed in September."

The live shows will start in October.

It seems Simon Cowell and the other X Factor bosses will have guest judges for the auditions.

Last month, the Daily Mail revealed how Mr Holloway and other X Factor executives had enjoyed a night out with fiery Spice Girl Mel B, fuelling rumours that she was being lined up for a role on the show.

Miss Minogue's sister, popstar Kylie, had also been linked to a guest judge role on the show after joining her sister at judges' houses in Dubai last year.
