Dannii was onstage singing during the outdoor concert at Kingsbury Water Park near Tamworth, when she spotted a boat sinking in a lake behind the audience.

She pointed over to the lake, hoping the crowd would turn round, but her audience thought she was starting a new craze, so they just all pointed back at her.

After a few pointed moments, the boat righted itself, so Dannii did not have to stop her concert to call for help. At least she tried!

No thanks - 05/04/03
Singer Dannii Minogue is counting on her siblings - including sister Kylie - to provide her parents with grandkids - because she can’t do relationships...

The I Being To Wonder singer says that she hasn’t had any luck with relationships, especially since she split from her long term lover racing driver Jacques Villeneuve.

She says, "I’d taken a year and a half out to live with him in Monaco and I did absolutely no work, I just swam, did dance classes and hung out with friends. It was excellent. He had a big impact on my life and the break wasn’t easy."

She now says that her parents are beginning to worry about their kids. She adds, "My dad’s in hysterics. He’s got three children in their thirties and they’re all single. I’m relying on Kylie and brother Brandon to produce some grandchildren for him."

Dannii Minogue has admitted she’s a big fan of her big sister’s Love Kylie range of lingerie...

"When Kylie’s underwear first came out, she hadn’t given me any," Dannii sniffed, "so I got on the phone to her and, ’Thanks a lot.’"

Kylie sent over this massive bag by way of apology and a happier Dannii later said, "I do like slipping into my sister’s underwear." Kinky.

Dannii feeling Blue - 07/03/03
Docklands popstar Dannii Minogue has had a rendezvous with Blue singer Simon Webbe.

The besotted couple were spotted dining in Notting Hill’s Electric Cinema.

They arrived separately but as the drinks flowed they became increasingly touchy- feely with one another and at one point Simon sat on her lap as she stroked his arm.

The pair left the venue separately for fear of being snapped together, but no doubt hooked up later to finish off dessert.

Biography

1971 was a special year for the Minogue family as on October 20th Dannielle Jane was born to a family that already consisted of big sis Kylie and big brother Brendan. Dannii Minogue always wanted to be famous - she was taking dancing and singing lessons from an early age and the hard work paid off when she was rewarded with a role in the Australian soap Skyways - at age seven!

Sister Kylie was also planning to be famous so dad Ron and former ballet dancer mum Carol were probably quite relieved that Brendan didn’t fancy a life in front of the cameras. Kylie got a role in The Sullivans, and Dannii joined her on the show that same year.

But it was Dannii who was emerging as the early star of the family - in 1982 age only 11 she joined the case of Young Talent Time which made her a household name up and down the country. YTT was a showcase for talented youngsters - who could sing, dance and even act a scene or two. Dannii’s gift for singing made sure she stood out - and she featured on the YTT album covering a Madonna track - which paved the way to more singing success.

At a ripe old age of 17 Dannii left Young Talent Time and decided to pursue her acting skills in a variety of different roles. She also released a fashion collection as she designed some of her YTT outfits - anyone see the clip of her wearing something like a turquoise layered dress? Well - this was the eighties so the fashion collection called ’DANNII’ sold out in ten days.

In 1989 Dannii must have felt on top of the world. She was signed as a music artist, she was nominated for a Logie Award, her role on Home and Away as bad girl Emma Jackson was very popular and her debut single - Love and Kisses sold over 60,000 times. But the nineties proved to be a bit more fickle. She left Home and Away to be a pop star, starred in a film called Secrets - anyone remember it? But an alleged Play Boy pose and marriage and divorce to Julian McMahon was what mainly topped the nineties about Dannii - although she began the climb back to the top of the charts in 1997 with songs such as ’All I Wanna Do’ and ’Disrememberence’

Dannii’s music veers into more dance then commercial pop - as her latest infectious tune ’Put the Needle on it’ seems to show. Dannii continues to enjoy pursuing her varied career - singing, acting, praised theatre roles such as Esmerelda in The Hunchback of Notre Dame - yet she does not attract the same media coverage as Kylie so can enjoy having a more discreet private life - but at any time she can step out into the limelight! Now that surely is the best combination!

Dannii currently lives in the Docklands area.
