The Aussie did not get an easy time of it, and at the forefront of the Dannii bashing was Louis Walsh.

Well now Dannii says that Louis has finally apologised for being so hard on her.

Dannii says, "Louis was very sweet on the first day of work this year. He said, ‘I’m so sorry, please don’t let me do that again.’ It’s nice now to see the side of him everyone else knows."

Indeed. Let's hope that with Dannii and Cheryl appearing to get on better in the pictures we've seen from the auditions - that Louis eases up on Dannii.
