How To Fail With Elizabeth Day28 Mai 2025

Dannii Minogue - ‘I hit low points where I thought: “I just can’t take this any more.”

In her most revealing interview to date, Dannii Minogue talks openly about the pressures of fame, the relentless comparisons with her sister, Kylie, and navigating a divorce that left her broke. It’s an extraordinary conversation with a woman who found fame as a 10-year-old in her native Australia. As a teenager Dannii, signed a record deal and acted in Home and Away. In her early 20s her debut album went Gold in the UK, and she went on to have 9 top 10 singles. Over the course of her music career she has spent over 200 weeks in the official UK chart, sold in excess of seven million records worldwide, and scored a record-breaking 19 Number One dance singles. After a four year stint on The X Factor UK, she now hosts her own queer dating shows ‘I Kissed a Girl’ and ‘I Kissed a Boy’, on BBC3 and iPlayer. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Intro 01:57 Dannii's Journey in the Entertainment Industry 02:49 The Importance of Allyship 03:44 Hosting 'I Kissed a Boy' 05:18 Personal Reflections 15:10 Failed Marriage and Lessons Learned 26:00 Reflecting on Family Support 26:22 Encountering the Ex 26:56 First Marriage Reflections 27:23 Failing at Living Up to Expectations 27:51 Struggles with Media and Comparisons 32:24 Body Image and Confidence 41:28 X Factor Challenges 50:19 Defining Success and Final Thoughts How to recover a broken heart - Elizabeth and Dannii answer YOUR questions in our subscriber series, Failing with Friends.
