But it seems like a cat fight is off the agenda for the latest series.
Australian panellist Dannii Minogue has vowed not only will she get on with her new colleague Cheryl Cole - she'll also feed up the petite star.
'Italian mother': Dannii Minogue has pledged to feed up new judge Cheryl Cole
The 36-year-old is happy the Girls Aloud star has replaced former judge Sharon Osbourne, 55, with whom she had a series of clashes.
Dannii says she feels sorry for new judge 25-year-old Cheryl after marital problems with husband Ashley Cole who was reported to have cheated on her.
She told The Sun newspaper: 'I wouldn't wish what Cheryl's been through on anybody. It must just be awful. It's physically obvious, it's been a tough time for her. I'll try to feed her up.
'I try and feed everyone up, so there's obviously an Italian mother stuck inside me.'
She continued: 'Cheryl's tiny. Mind you, Ashley came to auditions on her birthday and he's not tall. They're in proportion.'

This year's series of the hit ITV show looks set to see less confrontation after the departure of feisty judge Sharon.
Speaking to OK! magazine, Cheryl said Simon was the judge she agreed with most.
She said: 'As much as it pains me to admit it, and using Simon's own words: "He is always right.' '
However she said she wasn't afraid to argue with the outspoken X Factor judge if she thought he was wrong.

The Girls aloud star said: 'I have to say I do agree with him on a lot of things, but definitely not everything.
'I do tell him if I think he's out of order or wrong about someone. Sometimes he drives me mad and he always has to have the last word!'
The fifth series of the ITV show starts on Saturday.
