Dannii Minogue reveals the 2000s were a ‘dangerous’ time to be famous and says she was hounded by photographers like Britney Spears
Dannii Minogue has revealed that she found the 2000s a ‘dangerous’ time to be famous and struggled with the attention directed at her.
Appearing on The Briefing podcast, the singer, 49, says that she was hounded by photographers after moving to London from Australia, and can relate to some of pop star Britney Spears’ experiences at that time.
‘When you see those images of Britney getting in a car, they’re all lying on the car around her and it’s just flash flash flash, you literally are blinded, that’s happened to me in London,’ she said.

‘I couldn’t move, if I started to move forward, I’d run over their feet (and) then they’d sue me.
‘There were no phone cameras then, so I was not filming them, but I wish now I had footage of just how extreme it was.’
In an interview with News Corp on Monday, Dannii reflected on her initial arrival in the United Kingdom, and said she was seen as just ‘Kylie’s sister’ while she was trying to forge her own music career there in the 1990s.

In Australia, Dannii had been a star for many years thanks to her stint on popular variety show Young Talent Time, but in the UK, she was better known for her soap opera career and being the younger sibling of superstar Kylie, 53.
‘It was crazy. My sister was already there and she’d been in Neighbours, she’d released a lot of music already. It was absolute hysteria.
‘I came from Australia, where I grew up on TV, and everybody knew me from Young Talent Time, and then I went to London and then I was the girl from Home And Away who’s Kylie’s sister.

‘And I had a good five years of that: every introduction was, “You’re Kylie’s sister.”‘
Speaking on Anh’s Brush with Fame in 2019, Dannii said that if it wasn’t for her ‘feisty character’, the comparisons would have negatively affected her mental health.
