Dannii Minogue has become the latest in a long line of celebs to break down on Piers Morgan's ITV show, Life Stories.

Recalling the emotional moment she found out her sister, Kylie, had breast cancer, the tearful X Factor judge says, 'All I wanted to do was get inside the door of the family home and see my gorgeous sister and hug her'.

Dannii also talked of the added pressure of Kylie's fame.

‘It took a long while to understand all of that was there because everybody loves Kylie and they just wanted to know, ‘Is she OK?' But as a family member...it made everything more difficult.'

Back in 2005 Kylie underwent months of gruelling chemotherapy, holing herself up in France with then-boyfriend, Olivier Martinez.

But three years ago she was finally given the all-clear after beating the disease.

Despite this, Dannii says they are remaining cautious, as there's still one more hurdle ahead.

'Well, there's the all-clear and there's the all-clear. The proper one is the five-year all-clear and we're not there yet', she says.

I love Dannii... she seems so down to earth. You should be concentrating on the positives though - Kylie is ok, so be happy, don't waste you time being sad
