Dannii Minogue confirms she's expecting her first child in July
After the tabloids first spilled the beans over the weekend claiming Dannii Minogue was pregnant, the X-Factor judge has come out herself this week to publically announce, “Woo hoo I’m gonna be a mummy!”
The 39-year-old singer is said to have had her 12-week scan in the last few days and having received the all-clear from the doctors, decided to officially announce the happy news to the rest of the world.
It will be the first child for Dannii and her boyfriend Kris Smith. The baby is due in July with both parents-to-be said to be “delighted” at the news.
Dannii’s sister Kylie also took to Twitter to announce her excitement at the news as she wrote: “I am so excited to be an Aunty again!! WOW WOW WOW!! Xxx”
Despite the fact the baby is due in July and filming for the X-Factor auditions starts in August, Dannii is reportedly keen to continue as a judge on the hit show, provided Simon Cowell offers her another contract that is. However there have been reports that Spice Girl Mel B is being lined up as a possible new judge on the show.
Last year Xtra Factor presenter Holly Willoughby continued with her work duties on the show, 3 months after giving birth to her son Harry. Producers at ITV were said to have been happy to accommodate the new mum’s needs whilst filming took place.
A source close to Dannii revealed she is keen to follow Holly’s lead after she proved it was possible to juggle duties on the show, along with being a new mum.
