Dannii Minogue 'Posed Nude To Pay Off Her Debts'

Dannii Minogue has revealed that she posed naked for Playboy in order to pay off debts.
The X Factor judge confessed that she owed £150,000, and despite having the option of asking sister Kylie Minogue to help her with the money, she decided to strip off for the mag - and admits it made her "feel liberated."
"Kylie knew why I was doing it. I could have asked her for the money, but it wasn't in my nature," she told Piers Morgan. "I never wanted to admit the trouble I was in. I should have been looking at my finances."
The one thing that did make Dannii question her decision, was the look on her father's face: "My parents didn't want me to do it. My dad was saying, 'Doing this is forever - you can never, ever change it.'"
"I would never disclose how much I was paid - but it had to be a lot to look at my parents' faces and see the anguish in my dad's eyes."
And now 38-year-old Dannii admits that being able to look back at the 1995 pictures leaves her feeling happy she made the choice.
"I don't regret it, but I feel relieved that people know why I did it - it's a huge weight off my shoulders."
"It was actually fun and I did feel liberated. I looked at the pictures and thought, 'I look all right!'"
