Dannii wins Ultimate TV Personality Award

X-factor judge Dannii Minogue was thrilled to pick up her gong for Ultimate TV Personality last night, saying she more than deserved the award after putting up with Simon Cowell for three years.

The Australian singer was speaking after picking up her prize at the Cosmopolitan Women of the Year Awards last night and said she would use her award to inspire Stacey Solomon, the only act she has left to mentor on the X-Factor, she said, “This award will go in my dressing room to inspire Stacey – a bit of girl power.”

The 38-year-old star said she credits her boyfriend, Kris Smith with helping her to win the award and also with her current TV success. It comes after a difficult few years for the singer after supporting her sister Kylie Minouge with her battle against cancer. Talking about her present happiness she said, “When you’re having a good time as work and in your love life, I guess it shows on your face.”

Other winners on the night included Girls Aloud singer Kimberley Walsh who picked up the award for Ultimate Women of the Year, and also Holly Willoughby who was named Ultimate Presenter of the Year.
