Dannii breaks down to Piers Morgan
Thursday 29 October 2009
Dannii Minogue has become the latest in a long line of celebrities opening up to journalist Piers Morgan about her darkest secrets.
The X Factor judge broke down in tears during her candid interview, in which she spoke out about her sister Kylie Minogue's cancer.
Kylie, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, successfully underwent chemotherapy and was back to her show-stopping self within a year.
Dannii spoke about the blow of her big sister's diagnosis: "You just go to another depth. You find strength within yourself that you never knew you had because you never needed it before."
She also mentioned that she is still on edge about whether or not the cancer will return.
"The proper one is the five-year all-clear and we're not there yet," Dannii said. "She's been so strong. In my head it's not going to come back. That's just not going to happen."
Dannii also spoke out about her controversial decision to strip to pay her debts, after she was almost declared bankrupt following her divorce to actor Julian McMahon in 1995.
The Put The Needle On It singer posed nude for Playboy magazine in an issue that was so popular that it had to be reprinted, but her parents weren't so happy with its success.
She said: "I would never disclose how much [I got paid] - but it had to be a lot to look at my parents' faces and see the anguish in my dad's eyes."
Dannii's full Life Stories interview will be on ITV1 on Saturday. Previous celebs to open up to Piers include Jordan, Katherine Jenkins and Amanda Holden.
