Take 5 with Zan Rowe on ABC and ABC iview S3E1 – With a career spanning decades, it’s easy to feel we know Dannii Minogue. In this revealing episode she takes us behind the headlines.
Her warmth and authenticity shine through as she shares deeply personal songs from her collection. And how did it all begin? “Dad opens the Yellow Pages, and there was a big square that said the Johnny Young Talent School… my life has never been the same since.”
In a particularly touching moment, Dannii shares the story of what was going on behind the scenes as her sister Kylie privately battled cancer, and the victorious moment they shared together on stage.
Through a club classic, she remembers her best friend who died soon after. That time was one of the toughest of her life. “I thought only crazy people went to psychiatrists… I was like ‘I’m not a crazy. I’m broken’. We didn’t get any support like that growing up. I didn’t know anything about anything.”
From child star to a confident, empowered woman, Dannii has given the world hit singles, a fashion range, spent countless hours entertaining us on the X Factor and Masked Singer and now hosts the groundbreaking BBC show “I Kissed a Boy”.
She continues to inspire with her journey of self-discovery, advocacy and strength.
So, what does success look like today? “Devoting time to being in my family and being a mum is success for me, the little things I love.”
It’s impossible not to love Dannii in an emotional and unguarded interview spanning an extraordinary life, with one heck of a soundtrack.
