Minogue has also had some high-profile romances in her time, and has dated the likes of Olivier Martinez and Jason Donovan.

She previously said about the rocker on the documentary called Mystify: Michael Hutchence: “Sex, love, food, drugs, music, travel, books, you name it, he wanted to experience it.”

“He was a dark bad boy and I was the pure good girl.”

She added: “He had insatiable curiosity, all the good things in life and some the bad.”

“He opened up a whole new world for me. A lot of it was based around pleasure, let’s face it. It felt loving, yet sad, but was probably doomed.”
