Dannii Minogue celebrated turning the big 4-0 today and said she had been “looking forward to turning the big four-oh almost as much as I looked forward to my 30th!”
To celebrate the big day, the stunning Australian TV star and singer decided to treat fans to a peek at her favourite memories from the last 40 years, posting photographs on the website mydaily.co.uk.
Top of the list was the adorable photo of Dannii and her partner Kris Smith huddled round their newborn baby Ethan, as they took him home from hospital, which Dannii dubbed “the moment I’ll cherish forever”.
A snap of former X Factor judge Dannii covering outspoken Simon Cowell’s mouth with her hand – “the moment that always makes me laugh” – was another highlight, as was launching fashion label Project D with best friend Tabitha Webb, which Dannii refers to as “the moment I felt most empowered”.
She also had a picture of her former protégé Matt Cardle winning The X Factor, whom she mentored on the 2010 version of the show, calling it her proudest moment.
Most women try to shy away from the fact that they’re turning 40, but Dannii seemed delighted to reach the landmark age, thanking fans on Twitter for all their birthday messages.
Stars also flooded Twitter with celebratory messages for the star, including Dannii’s pop princess sister Kylie, who posted: “LOVERS!!!!!! My little sister @DanniiMinogue is celebrating her 40th today. Send your hip, hip, hooray!!!!! Happy Birthday Dan!!!!!”
Matt Cardle himself also took to Twitter to wish his former X Factor mentor a very happy 40th, writing: “@DanniiMinogue HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAVE A WICKED DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XXXXXXXX”
