Simply stunning: Dannii Minogue has posed for a stylish photoshoot just in time for the launch of the new line up of The X Factor UK



She has just finished Australia’s Got Talent and as she isn’t appearing on X Factor this year Dannii Minogue has some time on her hands.



The singer turned fashion designer, 39, has squeezed in the space to star in a stunning photoshoot for Grazia magazine Australia and what better time to release the snaps than as the start of the new X Factor approaches.





Glamour girl: The model-of-one may well find she has extra time on her hands now that she isn't a judge on The X Factor this year





Dannii, who left the talent show last year as Simon revamped the panel following his own departure is seen reclining in a sparkling black dress with heavy eyeliner and her lids closed, with huge earrings dangling from her ears.



In another the mother-of-one is seen running her hands through her dark tresses with the wide sleeves of her plunging blouse falling down around her.



Dannii, who is the face of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week, shows off her slim figure crouching down in a pair of lace trousers, a fur waistcoat and a pair of high heels.

Speaking to Grazia Dannii said she had always planned to return to her native Australia.



She said: ‘I always thought I would come back. I was waiting for the thing that would anchor me here and having a family with a baby definitely does that, because everyone wants to be near their parents when they have a baby.'



‘It just worked out that Kris loves being here so there wasn’t any struggle with that.’



Old times: Dannii enjoyed a huge rise in profile in the U.K. after appearing on the X Factor and last year her style choices were praised during the weekly fashion off between herself and Cheryl Cole







New guys, and Louis: Tulisa Contostavlos, Kelly Rowland and Gary Barlow have replaced Dannii, Cheryl and Simon as judges on the show
