We still can’t quite look at Danni Minogue in the same way after the revelations of her fling with Simon Cowell, but if nothing else, it has thrust her back into the limelight and also made her favourite to take Kelly Rowland’s spot on the judging panel for next series of UK X Factor – probably as an ‘I’m sorry that it all came out in the papers’ from Simon Cowell – well, it’s the least he could do! Danni probably could have done without the stress of the Simon Cowell fling going public as she had only recently split with her partner Kris Smith. She had commented on her split with Kris until this week – the only thing she’d done up to that point was update her twitter and ask for some time to deal with the situation. Well, she’s clearly now feeling better about it as she’s decided to talk to Marie Claire Australia. Danni explained that her fame has always really put a strain on her private life. She said: "Fame and work have always had an impact on my family since I went into this business at 7 years of age. How do I juggle everything now? Some days with ease, some days with difficulty. I have found that, over the years, whatever happens, you have to roll with it." Dannii and Kris got together in 2008 and had their son Ethan in 2010. She said she finds it hard to leave the toddler, especially now she is not with Kris and she is trying to keep him in a routine. She said: "The guilt of going back to work floods you. I try to take it all in my stride, but when it affects my loved ones I feel an internal struggle with the love for my work. Ethan has his little routine now. He has swimming lessons; he has things that are important to him. I don't want to unsettle him to follow me around the globe." Maybe she won’t take that spot on the judging panel for UK X Factor then!
