Los Angeles:
Dannii Minogue feels "privileged" to have turned 40. The former UK X Factor judge lost her best friend to cancer in the mid 2000s, and says it made her appreciate the landmark birthday last October so much more.
The mother-of-one explained: "For me, the biggest thing was just cherishing every moment. A lot of people asked me if I was scared about turning 40, but that was the last thing on my mind.
"I have lost one of my best friends to cancer and I thought, 'She didn't get the privilege of reaching 40 and here I am'."It made me feel so many emotions but none of them had to do with, 'I need more eye cream'. It was just that it was a special moment. I really embraced it. I loved it."
Now living in Melbourne, Australia, with partner Kris Smith and their one-year-old son Ethan, Dannii admits she would consider a return to the UK X Factor if show boss Simon Cowell invited her.
She told Hello! magazine: "I really don't know what's happening - that's up to Simon Cowell."I haven't ruled out coming back to the UK for anything and I think all of the show's fans know that I love it."I would love to do it again, but it's all in the hands of Mr. Cowell."
