As a pop artist whose fanbase is largely made up of them, Dannii certainly almost risked losing a lot of her gay fans on tonights 'X Factor'!
As the show was drawing to a close and final contestant Danyl Johnson (pronounced 'Daniel' but with an 'edgy' 'y') performed a gender reversal rendition of 'And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going', Dannii made the faux pas of mentioning his sexuality to a bewildered and unknowing crowd!
Commenting after his performance she said; 'If we are to believe everything we read in the papers last week maybe you didn't need to change the gender reference in it'
*cue tumbleweed blowing through the studio*
Witness the awkwardness yourselves!
Thing is, nobody in the audience seemed to have heard about Danyl's bisexuality, leading to neither a positive or negative reaction but a deathly silence which seemed to last for an eternity as we watched Danyl squirm. Many are up in arms about Dannii's comment, logging complaints with TV moderator Ofcom and even spamming her wikipedia page, referrning to her as a homophobe!
Time for some damage control!
