Backstage secrets: Sinitta at the Nokia launch

Speaking at the launch of Nokia Comes With Music in Bloomsbury, Sinitta told us: "Things are getting really bad between Simon and Dannii. He's continually taking swipes at her.

"He doesn't like the fact that she's come into this series all cocky from winning it last year, saying 'I'm going to win it again'. And she's been openly criticising him on live TV, which isn't a good idea - it's backfiring in her face."

As the ex-lover of Simon, 49, Sinitta will be well aware of nuances in his body language. She said: "Last year it was all about Simon caring for Dannii and protecting her from Sharon, but this year he hardly notices she exists and it's annoying her.

"But having a go at Simon in front of the other judges isn't the way to solve it. Simon is forgetting the name of Dannii's acts on purpose to undermine her. I wouldn't be surprised if he pretends to forget her name this week. I think it's funny. I sit behind them as the show is going out and you can feel the tension and looks between them. When we go to ads it gets worse!"

In case we hadn't completely understood, Sinitta also described the chilly atmosphere between Dannii and Cheryl Cole.

She added: " Dannii and Cheryl ignore each other at the best of times, but Simon and Dannii are really sniping."
