Dannii Minogue (/mɪˈnɡ/; born 20 October 1971) is an Australian singer, television personality, and actress. She first gained recognition for her appearances on the television talent show Young Talent Time (1982–1988) and for her role as Emma Jackson on the soap opera Home and Away (1989–1990). Minogue began her music career in the early 1990s, achieving early success with her debut studio album, Love and Kisses (1991), which was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and included the singles "Love and Kisses", "Jump to the Beat" and "Success". Following the release of her second studio album, Get into You (1993), Minogue's popularity as a singer had declined, leading her to make a name for herself with award-winning performances in theatre productions.[1][2]

The late 1990s saw a brief return to music after Minogue reinvented herself as a dance artist with her third studio album, Girl (1997), and its lead single "All I Wanna Do".[3] Her fourth studio album, Neon Nights (2003), became the most successful of her career; it was certified gold by the BPI and spawned the hit singles "Who Do You Love Now?", "I Begin to Wonder" and "Don't Wanna Lose This Feeling". In 2007, she released her fifth studio album, Club Disco. In the UK, Minogue has achieved nine Top 10 singles and 13 consecutive number-one dance singles, becoming the best-performing artist on the UK Dance Chart.[4] In Australia, she has achieved 12 Top 30 singles and six Gold certified singles.[4] As of January 2017, Minogue has sold over seven-million records worldwide.[5][6]

Minogue has served as a judge on multiple television talent shows, including The X Factor UK (2007–2010), Australia's Got Talent (2007–2012), Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model (2013), The X Factor Australia (2013–2015), Let It Shine (2017), and The Masked Singer Australia (2019–2021). As a television presenter, she has hosted It's Not Just Saturday (1996), Dance Boss (2018), Ultimate Beastmaster (2018), I Kissed a Boy (2023), and I Kissed a Girl (2024).
