Kylie tells of Dannii heartache

Kylie Minogue has told of the hurt caused to her sister Dannii after Simon Cowell’s biography revealed that she had a fling with the TV and music mogul.

The brief, past relationship came to light just weeks after Dannii, 40, announced in April that she was separating from partner Kris Smith, the father of her young son Ethan.

Minogue, 44, told Glamour magazine: “My sister is going through a really difficult time,” adding of the revelation: “It was a second blow after ‘Oh, my relationship has broken down’.”
