Dannii Minogue reveals her love for CLEANING

Dannii Minogue has revealed her love for cleaning and that she even used to offer to clean her neighbours’ windows.      

The former X Factor judge, 49, admitted that she gets a ‘rush’ from tidying her home but doesn’t enjoy scrubbing her bathroom.    

Dannii told The Mirror: ‘The only rush you get is cleaning the house. I hate doing bathrooms but I love vacuuming, I love doing dishes, putting things away.

‘Windows, no problem. I shared a balcony with one of my neighbours and, for me, the windows were never cleaned as much as I would like. 

‘I would clean the windows and said to my neighbours, “I’m out with the bucket, do you want me to clean yours as well?”‘

Dannii added that her neighbours have even got photos of her on the balcony on the ninth floor in Battersea and they found it ‘hilarious’.

Dannii is a mother to 10-year-old son Ethan, who she shares with her ex-partner Kris Smith.

The singer recently admitted that she never thought of becoming a mother until she mentored young performers on The X Factor.

Dannii, who was a judge on the TV series between 2007 and 2010, told Kate Thornton on the White Wine Question Time podcast: ‘It was the first time… I had any feeling of being maternal. 

‘I was so protective of anyone who was in my team. I felt like a mother when I pushed them out on stage.

‘It was through that experience, that I even was opening up to the thought of it. So for me looking back on that huge experience and everything that was a part of it, it basically set me up for the next part of my life.’

Dannii also revealed that because she sounds so much like her older sister Kylie, 52, while speaking on the phone, their parents cannot tell them apart.

She explained: ‘Even when we call our parents, they can’t tell us apart. They’re like, “Where are you? What are you doing?”

‘If I can’t say, “Oh, well, I’m with Ethan here.” They’re like, “Okay!” 

Dannii also recalled a time when her son Ethan met his aunt for the first time when he was a baby.

She recalled: ‘There was an amazing moment where she [Kylie] came over to my house and I said, “Oh, Ethan’s just in his cot, you can go and like have a look.”

‘So she goes in and he’s awake, and she starts talking to him. And I walked in and just saw his face! 

‘He’s looking up at her like, “That is my mum’s voice, but you are not mum. You don’t smell like my mum, but you sound like my mum”, because we sound so alike!’
