The X Factor star Dannii Minogue ‘wouldn’t be alive now’ if she listened to ‘brutal’ comments

Singer and talent show judge Dannii Minogue has opened up about how "brutal" comments about her appearance impacted her.

The Australian star, 53, who rose to fame in the 1980s as Emma Jackson in soap opera Home and Away, later became a judge on The X Factor in the UK between 2007 and 2010. “The hardest time I had was not long after I arrived in the UK, and photographers were literally throwing themselves on the ground to get angles and shoot up your dress and your skirt,” she explained. She also recalled that early on, she was compared to her older sister Kylie Mingoue’s “completely different” body shape, which heavily impacted her mental health.
