London, Dec 1 (IANS) 'X Factor' judge Dannii Minogue has dumped her rugby player boyfriend Kris Smith.

According to thesun.co.uk, the 37-year-old Minogue ended the four-month relationship and told friends that she was basically tired of having too many fights with him.

Smith, who had been spending time with Minogue in London, has not moved back to his mother's house in Manchester. He confirmed that he was not involved with Minogue anymore.

A friend of Minogue said: 'She is upset but says she has done the right thing by ending her relationship. She's spending a lot of time looking after her contestant Ruth Lorenzo and then trying to get on with her fellow judges. The last thing she needs is to be stressed by a relationship. After the 'X Factor', she hopes to have a long holiday to recharge her batteries, and she may return to Oz to spend time with her family.'
