Simon Cowell – The X Factor 2010

After missing out on the first day of tennis at Wimbledon due to the first round of X Factor auditions, Simon Cowell promised his fellow judges he’d make it up to them later on this week. But the invitations haven’t been extended to Dannii Minogue, leaving her out in the cold….again!

Simon has invited fellow judges Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh, giving them the VIP treatment court-side this week, but Dannii Minogue will have to line up like the rest of us.

A source close to Simon said: “He was really upset having missed the first day at Wimbledon. He is a keen tennis fan and was eager to see the matches. He asked if he could replace his centre court tickets for Friday and said that he would also like to bring along Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh – but there was no mention of Dannii.“

“There may be a good reason for this, as she might be busy, or even might not like tennis, but it seems quite odd that she was left out.“

This isn’t the first time Dannii Minogue, 37, has been left out in the cold. Last year, after the National Television Awards, Simon treated Louis and Cheryl to a lavish meal at Mr Chow’s in Knightsbridge. But Dannii was left to attend the after-party by herself.

Kylie Minogue’s younger sister is already smarting from the news Cheryl Cole is being paid THREE TIMES as much as she is at £1.2million.

Other celebs at the all-English tennis club yesterday included Johnny Borrell (Razorlight), Jude Law and Johnny Lee Miller.

They were treated to a three-course meal in the Evian VIP suite – including lobster and a selection of salads for lunch, high tea in the afternoon, as well as Rose Champagne and Pimms throughout the day.

That’s what you’ll be missing Dannii…
