DANNII IS A MODEST GIRL

It's interesting watching Dannii recast events in a way that throws a more flattering light on her - for example, there was that time she made a terrible fuss about having signs in Arabic on display in Australia, which turned out that she had managed to confuse Independent editor Simon Kelner into assuming that her delight in multiculturalism was in some way an attack on it.

Now, in the wake of Richard Madeley calling the lesser Minogue the rudest guest he's ever had, Dan has taken steps to explain exactly what happened.

Now, you and I might have thought that if she was going on a daytime show to promote a calendar which was basically her in her knickers, she'd have a pretty shrewd idea of what market she was playing to.

Perhaps not.

"I'd agreed to go on and talk, which I didn't want to do, 'cos it's a pretty daggy show."

We can see how someone from Home and Away might feel it a step down to go onto This Morning, but at least you put the idea of flogging a few extra calendars ahead of petty thoughts, eh?

Still, how did it go?

"I had a calendar out and all Richard wanted to do was letch over it, which I wasn't comfortable with. I shot him a look - it was either that or walk off."

Right, so you're on a TV show to try and sell pictures of you in your knickers and you have a fit of the vapours when someone goes "ooh, I like you in your underwear"?

Perhaps the time for these moral qualms was when you were in a photographer's studio with your bits out?
