Dannii Minogue will remain in her new seat on The X Factor for the rest of the series, a report has claimed today.
The singer was ordered to swap positions with Louis Walsh on the panel shortly before Saturday night's episode, moving her away from fellow female judge Cheryl Cole and show boss Simon Cowell.
According to the Daily Mail, the new seating arrangement will stay in place throughout the rest of the live instalments, despite rumours that Minogue was unhappy about being "shunted" to the end.
Reports have suggested that the star was moved because producers wanted to encourage banter between Cowell and Walsh by moving them closer together. It was also alleged that Minogue and Cole's interactions were deemed "boring" by bosses.
Offering a new interpretation of events, an insider said today: "They also felt that Dannii and Simon give the most constructive comments on the show, so they would make good bookends, so Dannii is also somewhat a victim of her own success."
Another source added: "Dannii has been upset and did complain to the bosses after the show that she thought it was an undignified way to behave to break the news just before she went on air, but everyone is telling her that she should not take it so personally."

Gordon Brown has revealed what he thinks of X Factor twin contestants John and Edward Grimes.
The double act have attracted widespread criticism for their performances but are currently in the latter stages of the ITV1 show.
The prime minister told Manchester radio station Key 103 today that he does not rate the duo, though added that some of the hopefuls are "really good".
During a Q&A session, he stated: "I don't think [John & Edward] are very good. [But] there are some really good people on X Factor. It's really good. And I know it's competing with Strictly Come Dancing."
Brown later asked: "Does anyone want John & Edward to win X Factor?" Following a brief pause, only two said yes.
Conservative Party leader David Cameron yesterday admitted that he is addicted to John & Edward.

Cheryl Cole reportedly spent £65,000 on her X Factor performance of debut solo single 'Fight For This Love'.
The singer, whose album 3 Words is currently at number one, allegedly paid the sum for her dancers, costumes, extra lighting, lasers and other special effects for the live show.
"The performers have to pay their own production costs and it can be a small fortune," a source told The Mirror.
Meanwhile, performances by Whitney Houston and Alexandra Burke on the ITV1 programme are reported to have each cost £60,000.
Bon Jovi are said to have staged the cheapest live performance last Sunday, which allegedly came in at approximately £30,000.
Black Eyed Peas and Leona Lewis have been confirmed to sing on Sunday night's live show.

Jedward Divides The Nation - Should they get the boot?
"No" says Sue Carroll. "Simon must be delighted he's discovered the X Factor's answer to Strictly's John Sergeant".
"Yes" says Nicola Methven. "Saturdays rendition of Queen's We Will Rock You would have had Freddie Mercury spinning in his grave (with far more style and rhythm than the twins managed:D) It's all very well for them to be 'interesting' in terms of polarising public opinion. But I bet they are putting off more viewers than they are pulling in. Get 'em out!!!"
---> I found them funny to start with, but they are getting on my nerves now, especially because more talented singers are going home because of them, e.g. Rachel. I quickly got tired of Sergeant too. Time to get your coats, boys :rotfl:
