X FACTOR judge Dannii Minogue has ditched the Botox - because she's decided it's better to have facial expressions on the show.
The 37-year-old, who was well-known for her pumped-up face, confessed to Grazia magazine: "While I have been open about doing it before - I'm not doing it now."
She let slip that she saw all the comments people made about her, calling her "plastic" and "all Botox".
The Aussie added: "There is so much more pressure on women. If you can get older and be happier within yourself, that's the main thing."
After all the tension on the judging panel last year, the petite judge said she has been treated much better and this time round it's a "different year, different show".
She recently revealed that she threatened to quit after Louis reduced her to tears.
When the Irish judge accused of stealing his song, she ended up in a state.
But Dannii revealed that they've patched things up and Louis has been "an absolute love this year".
She explained: "It took such strength of character to be on the show. You've got to live and die by whatever you say and what people think of you.
"It's pretty surreal. So intense."
Dannii admitted that her tearful break-down endeared her to many, explaining: "I think people saw me as this quite hard person. I'm so not. I'm quite soft and vulnerable.
"But there's a point where you think, 'I cannot take this any more. This is my character and my reputation that you're destroying.' So I let it all crash down and said, 'This isn't me. I'm not made of steel'."
She also went on to say that the X Factor was the biggest thing to ever happen to her.
Dannii added: "It's astonishing. Let's face it. Simon Cowell is looking down at God. And judging him."
Denying the rumours of a rift between her and fellow judge Cheryl Cole, 26, she said: "That has been written about for so long on the basis that we don't socialise outside of the show. But I don't socialise with Louis or Simon, either. Nobody cares about that."
