Kylie Minogue celebrated her sister Dannii turning 50.

She wrote: “Happy 50th to my baby sister @danniiminogue … oh and, she ‘just wants to party now’. GO FOR IT. LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!! 50. I can hardly believe it. So proud of you.”

The Minogue siblings have always been incredibly close.

But their relationship hasn’t always been easy as the youngest found herself pitted against her elder sibling when she followed in her footsteps to London.

Speaking to You magazine, Dannii said earlier this year: “When I moved to London in the 90s, the ideal was you had to be Kate Moss. You just had to be thin. Thin was everything and it got you on the covers of magazines. That wasn’t me, ha ha. That was NOT me.

“But that was what you saw projected from magazine after magazine, to the point where you were just like, well it must be true. You’re better if you’re thin. I was definitely pitted against my sister: “She’s thin and perfect and you’re not, you’re fat and…” – I’ve had every word said to me. It was difficult.”

However, the sisters managed to work it out between them.

She added: “You know, we had to have the conversation about it, but not let that conversation be our whole time together. I went to her and we did discuss it. But we had to not become consumed by someone else’s headspace.”

It will bring the sisters even closer together as Dannii lives Down Under.
