Dannii Minogue, now 52, shot to fame through her early appearances on Aussie TV, notably on Young Talent Time and Home And Away as the rebellious Emma Jackson.
Following her sister Kylie's footsteps, she ventured into music with hits like 'Love and Kisses', 'Baby Love' and 'Success'.
She also made a mark as a judge on various reality TV gigs, from The X Factor UK to Australia's Got Talent, and more recently, I Kissed a Boy.
Recently, she opened up about her sexuality in a heartfelt revelation.
Previously, Minogue was engaged twice. Her first engagement was to actor Julian McMahon, whom she met on the set of Home And Away.
Their marriage in 1994 lasted only 18 months before they parted ways.
Post-breakup, Minogue took a bold step, posing for a n**e shoot in the Australian edition of Playboy.
She cited at that time that: "I had just had a marriage break-up. Most women go to the hairdressers – I did Playboy. I chose the photographer, the location, what I did or didn't want to wear and everything else about the pictures. I found it a really liberating, empowering experience."
In 1999, she became engaged to former Formula 1 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve, but their relationship ended in 2001.
For the past decade, Minogue has been in a relationship with musician Adrian Newman.
In addition to her thriving career in acting and music, Minogue has garnered recent acclaim for her roles on some of the world's most beloved talent shows.
Furthermore, she has hosted Dance Boss, Ultimate Beastmaster, and I Kissed A Boy – notably the first British dating show to exclusively feature gay men.
In an interview with Radio Times leading up to its 2023 release, Minogue expressed her belief that 'it was about time' a show like this aired on TV.
She added: "I think so many people have been wanting a gay dating show. There are so many comments that I've read over the years – 'Our brand of dating show, it's not going to include that, it's never gonna happen'.
"And it's confusing to me why so many people are asking for it but then nobody was making this show […] So I think a lot of people wanted it, but it just wasn't happening."
The groundbreaking series scored big, earning the Best Multichannel Programme at The Broadcast Awards and paving the way for an announced spin-off.
Auto DraftI Kissed A Girl follows a similar format to its predecessor but shines a spotlight on lesbian couples, making it the first British dating show exclusively featuring women.
In an interview with The Mirror, Minogue expressed her astonishment at the absence of a dating series catering to lesbian and bisexual women in the UK.
She emphasized that: "This is so important. There hasn't been a show for the girls in the reality gay dating world. It's like we need this to happen. I'm hoping that there are parties up and down the country."
During the launch of the new BBC Three program, Minogue discussed becoming familiar with the terminology used to describe different facets of gay female identity, including terms like 'femme', 'stem', and 'masc'.
For those not up on the lingo, 'femme' describes someone expressing themselves in a feminine manner, while 'masc' is more about a stereotypical masculine expression, as Stonewall outlines.
Lehigh University's Pride Center defines 'stem' as someone whose gender expression falls between the typical masculine 'stud' and feminine 'femme'.
Minogue then dropped that she identifies as queer in her own quirky way.
In the premiere episode, one contestant confessed that the 'Who Do You Love Now' singer is her type, with many others agreeing they have a crush on Minogue too.
When asked about her attraction to women, Minogue responded, "You girls are hot. You know it. I love it. I'm here for it. Is that an answer?"
"You girls are so brave and amazing and have brought so much to it. I could never do what you have done. I will always be in awe of what has happened and what we've created. I feel so proud. You're stepping forward, and you're the first crew of girls representing in this space, and it is big."
Tune in to the first episode of I Kissed A Girl on BBC Three, airing May 5 at 9pm.
