It looks like the days of in-fighting between the X Factor judges are over.
Dannii Minogue has said wants to put old feuds behind her and is looking for a fresh start.
But she's not talking about her well-publicised X Factor battle with Mrs O.
It's no secret that Cheryl has made some nasty comments about her fellow judge, claiming that men do not find Dannii attractive, and advising her to "get all her plastic surgery reduced".
Determined to forgive and forget, Dannii's been putting in the effort to make Cheryl feel welcome.
"It's true that Girls Aloud have said some unfortunate things about me, but you can't hold on to things like that," she told the News of the World. "I hope we get on. I don't ever want to go through the same atmosphere as before."
Dannii has even gone so far as to sing Cheryl's praises, predicting that the Girls Aloud singer's influence might encourage the show to become more 'hip'.
"Cheryl brings a breath of fresh air to the show," said Dannii: "On the third day of auditions, I remember she was talking about urban music and telling Simon, 'This is what the show needs - this is where you've been going wrong'."
Blimey. Let's hope Louis and Simon can still find something to sound off about - the arguments are half the fun.
