Dannii Minogue has admitted that she was addicted to Botox.

The X-Factor judge blames her problems on depression and the stress of her sister falling ill with cancer.

In an interview with The Sun, she said: “My sister was sick, then my best friend died soon after – I felt I’d been hit by a wave. 

“I couldn’t deal with the stress. I couldn’t deal with having to look at my face.”

The singer admits that at first Botox was just “a bit of fun” but in the end became a “necessity”.

Dannii claimes that she is now over her troubles and is happy in both her professional and personal life: ”I guess at my age I have to start thinking about babies at some time.  

“But to be honest, I’m just enjoying being so wildly in love [with Kris Smith] and being so happy. He is the one.”
