The time has finally come, Dannii Minogue has ditched us for her native country Australia!

The singer turned TV personality has dropped the biggest hint ever that she will not be returning to the UK to live.

The 39 year old has admitted that the she’s loving family life down under so much she has made the dramatic decision to stay there permanently.

Since severing ties to her UK job on the X Factor judge panel, along side Cheryl Cole, Louis Walsh and formidable Simon Cowell, the draw of the sun and sea in OZ is just to much to compare to our drizzling grey skies.

Starting a young family, Dannii is keen to set down some stable roots for 13-month-old Ethan and believes the move will also help keep her relationship with lover Kris Smith, 33, on track.

Recently the couple admitted to hitting a rocky patch in their partnership, but blamed it on work commitments and their constant travels in separate directions.

“I was waiting for the thing that would anchor me me here and having a family with a baby definitely does that. It just works out that Kris loves being here,” she told an Australian magazine last week.

Dannii also credited her good Aussie genes for her trim post-baby figure.

“I don’t understand how other mums have got to gym after having a baby… it [my body] just snapped back,” she revealed.
