Singer and X Factor judge Dannii Minogue has opened up about how “brutal” comments about her appearance impacted her.
The Australian star, 53, rose to fame in the 1980s as Emma Jackson in soap opera Home and Away. She later became a judge on The X Factor in the UK between 2007 and 2010.

With a career spanning several decades, Dannii appeared on Fearne Cotton’s My Happy Place podcast to discuss the highs and lows of her career.
“The hardest time I had was not long after I arrived in the UK. Photographers were literally throwing themselves on the ground to get angles and shoot up your dress and your skirt,” she explained. At the time, she was only 19.
She also recalled that early on, she was compared to her older sister Kylie Mingoue’s “completely different” body shape. This heavily impacted her mental health.
