Dannii recently reignited her old feud with Sharon and blamed Graham and his production team for planning the comments in advance and springing them on her live on TV.
Speaking on How to Fail with Elizabeth Day Danni said: “I think the difference was it wasn’t being rude. There had to be production meetings to set up the things that they were doing on set in this show and these huge personalities that I looked up to and just loved what they had done.”
Dannii continued: “‘I’d loved Sharon Osbourne on X Factor. I’d love her on the Osborne’s.
“I loved what Graham Norton was doing, and here were these people just tearing me to pieces. That show would never be made today.”
Dannii recalled how Graham made fun of her appearance saying she “looked bizarre” and also mocked her music career and Aussie accent.
When Graham’s fellow guest on the episode, Buffy star David Boreanaz, asked to see a photo of Dannii, Sharon stood up and pointed to her behind and said “look at this.”
The Sun contacted the BBC, and representatives for Graham and Sharon for comment.
As former colleagues on the X-Factor, Dannii and Sharon have been involved in a long-running feud.
At the time, their argument reportedly stemmed from Dannii’s relationship with exec producer and head judge Simon Cowell.
Dannii did not deny flirting with Simon, but she denied any relationship.

Danni previously confessed: “But that man could flirt with a book, a wall, anything.”
But Sharon couldn’t stand to sit next to the Australian singer during X-Factor as she confessed to Piers Morgan’s Life Stories.
The former music manager admitted: “I didn’t hate her because hatred is very close to love and takes a lot of emotion and I don’t have that time for her.”
She added: “She was like an insect, a mosquito that wouldn’t go away.”
In her autobiography, Unbreakable, Sharon said that she found the time she spent together with Dannii as “an odious chore.”
Dannii eventually left the show in 2010, and there was clearly no love lost on her side of the argument either as she slammed Sharon in public as well.
She said: “Sharon announced to anyone who would listen that I was impossible to work with, that I was only on The X Factor because of my looks – not any visible talent or contribution to the entertainment industry – and Simon employed me only because he wanted to sleep with me.”
