Dannii Minogue - Minogue Writing Autobiography

Australian pop star DANNII MINOGUE is set to lift the lid on her life in a new tell-all book.

The 38 year old, sister of petite pop star Kylie, shot to fame in her native Australia on a string of TV shows in the 1980s, before moving into music in the 1990s and 2000s.

In 2007, she returned to her TV roots with a judging role on Australia's Got Talent and later that year joined Simon Cowell on the panel of British talent series The X Factor.

Minogue is currently expecting her first child with partner Kris Smith, and, despite previously vowing never to write an autobiography, she's now putting pen to paper to reveal "untold stories" about her life.

The star says, "'I feel as though a whole life chapter is closing, and a new exciting one is unfolding. It feels like the right time to put pen to paper to account my first 38 years. It’s important to me that the book contains all the ups and downs of my life so far, with many stories untold."

The book is expected to hit shelves later this year (10).
