Danni Minogue has found new love - August 05
Danni Minogue has found new love - with the best friend of the sister of Kylie’s lover, Olivier Martinez. The beautiful singer fell for Jeremy Banster when she went to Australia to comfort her sister, after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. They have since been on a series of dates and friends say she has fallen madly in love with the French TV star.

The couple were first introduced by Olivier last autumn but Danni had just been through a difficult break up with Jeremy Garamond, and had no interest. They met again at the Minogue family home in May when Danni, 33, jetted to Australia to be with her sister. A friend of the couple said: "When they went out again, it was at a really hard time for the family. "Everyone had just found out about Kylie and was really worried but Jeremy was very attentive. Since then the bond has just grown." Jeremy is one of France’s biggest TV stars and appears in Extreme Limite, one of the country’s most popular shows. The couple have been on a string of dates in Australia and have continued seeing each other since they returned to Europe. The friend told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: "Jeremy and Danni have fallen for each other big time."

Biography

1971 was a special year for the Minogue family as on October 20th Dannielle Jane was born to a family that already consisted of big sis Kylie and big brother Brendan. Dannii Minogue always wanted to be famous - she was taking dancing and singing lessons from an early age and the hard work paid off when she was rewarded with a role in the Australian soap Skyways - at age seven!

Sister Kylie was also planning to be famous so dad Ron and former ballet dancer mum Carol were probably quite relieved that Brendan didn’t fancy a life in front of the cameras. Kylie got a role in The Sullivans, and Dannii joined her on the show that same year.

But it was Dannii who was emerging as the early star of the family - in 1982 age only 11 she joined the case of Young Talent Time which made her a household name up and down the country. YTT was a showcase for talented youngsters - who could sing, dance and even act a scene or two. Dannii’s gift for singing made sure she stood out - and she featured on the YTT album covering a Madonna track - which paved the way to more singing success.

At a ripe old age of 17 Dannii left Young Talent Time and decided to pursue her acting skills in a variety of different roles. She also released a fashion collection as she designed some of her YTT outfits - anyone see the clip of her wearing something like a turquoise layered dress? Well - this was the eighties so the fashion collection called ’DANNII’ sold out in ten days.

In 1989 Dannii must have felt on top of the world. She was signed as a music artist, she was nominated for a Logie Award, her role on Home and Away as bad girl Emma Jackson was very popular and her debut single - Love and Kisses sold over 60,000 times. But the nineties proved to be a bit more fickle. She left Home and Away to be a pop star, starred in a film called Secrets - anyone remember it? But an alleged Play Boy pose and marriage and divorce to Julian McMahon was what mainly topped the nineties about Dannii - although she began the climb back to the top of the charts in 1997 with songs such as ’All I Wanna Do’ and ’Disrememberence’

Dannii’s music veers into more dance then commercial pop - as her latest infectious tune ’Put the Needle on it’ seems to show. Dannii continues to enjoy pursuing her varied career - singing, acting, praised theatre roles such as Esmerelda in The Hunchback of Notre Dame - yet she does not attract the same media coverage as Kylie so can enjoy having a more discreet private life - but at any time she can step out into the limelight! Now that surely is the best combination!

Dannii currently lives in the Docklands area.
