X-posed: Dannii Minogue's scrummy new man

By Rav Singh, 14/09/2008

HERE'S the first picture of DANNII MINOGUE with the man who's putting a smile back on her face after a year-long sex drought.

X Factor judge Dannii went for a rugby union when she met former Leeds Rhino star Kris Smith in Ibiza three weeks ago.

The romance carried on when the holiday ended - and at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards this week Dannii, who revealed before going to Ibiza that she hadn't had sex for a year, told me all about her 6ft 4ins lover.

Dannii confided: "Yeah, I do have a new man - I'm dating. He's a very, very nice guy. I'm a very happy girl at present.

"Currently I know nothing about rugby but I'm learning. This is a good reason to start!"

Kris, who is now a rugby coach, was in Ibiza celebrating his 30th birthday when he spotted Dannii in bar in San Antonio.

He asked if he could buy her a drink and they clicked immediately. This holiday snap shows them looking chilled and loved up.

Dannii, who hosted the Nickelodeon TV Awards, which will be shown on the children's channel on Saturday at 11am, told me she's determined to have another X Factor winner this year after her triumph with Leon Jackson in the last series.

And she has tipped a woman to win. "I have to say I think the girls are strong," she said.

"It's the Leona Lewis effect -the girls are coming in hordes."

yep, I'll vouch for that his lunchbox aint up to much!!

By Laura.. Posted September 27 2008 at 11:27 AM.

Jesus people stop hating. She is an icon to some and we (as the public) either respect it or not. Who ever she dates will be lucky because she is stunning looking but he must have something too. And the ladies the comments about his lunch box well that a bit uncalled for. But then again, he could 'extend' and put it on Danni's account at the plastic surgey clinic. Good luck and remember Kriss is/was a 'player' in more than one way!!!! and I don'tmean just turning out for Leeds, Salford and Halifax.

PEACE

Oh my god why is he the lucky fella? Just because she was in Neighbours? She is the lucky one, he is fit. Why is he sleeping with Granny Minogue!?

By tatyana.. Posted September 17 2008 at 1:56 PM.

I personally think that people who write Nasty comments are just jealous! I think they look like a lovely couple and wish them well.

I also know Chris through a friend and hes a lovely guy.
good luck to you both

GET A LIFE GAYLE!! THUNDER THIGHS CELLULITE CITY

Kriss is a amaziong guy, i know him through a friend whislst promoting events. He has a heart of GOLD and always smiling. He has never done anyone any harm, The bad reviews below are all LIES. I dont understand why people cant be HAPPY for Kriss. He's always putting friends first and will be there for his friends. So all you HATERs who are trying to put silly hints on this siter to try and ruin him can go **** OFF. Kriss isnt the lucky one, danni is lucky to have a great guy like Kriss.

Ahhhhhhh.. its so nice to see another un-talented ,self righteous,over paid ,sad deluded wannabee find sexual happiness in this perfect world. I am so happy for her but it wont last as she tries to project what is her sad notion of male perfection on him. as for these other comments.. well all i can say there is.. get a life and wake up to the world.

By tinka.. Posted September 15 2008 at 6:12 AM.

Any more piccys of the happy couple?

By danielle.. Posted September 15 2008 at 1:10 AM.

His ex-girlfriend was far fitter than Danni, did he dump her for Danni ? Think she worked at a hospital in Manchester.

By Bobby.. Posted September 14 2008 at 9:03 PM.

I know Kris from school I could"nt resist but put a comment in, he"s a wonderful man, she"s stunning, your both lovely together. Please dont break his heart Danni, your a tiger babe.
