Dannii Minogue will return to The X Factor

Dannii Minogue is signed a £450,000 contract to return to The X Factor just eight weeks after giving birth.

Her role as a judge had been in question after she announced that she was pregnant with her first child during the auditions for the 2010 show.

However, she will return to work two months after the arrival of her baby in July with the help of her boyfriend Kris Smith.

She will appear on the ‘judges houses’ segment of the ITV series in September, where she will help narrow down the hopefuls, alongside fellow judges Simon
Cowell, Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh.

A source close to the singer said that she was not taking a pay cut, telling the Daily Mail: 'Dannii's pay is working out as like for like for the amount of episodes she has to film, compared to the last series.'

Former Spice Girl Mel B and at least two other celebrities will take her place in the auditions round.

This week she has confessed that she is finding it hard to relax, saying: 'I need to take some time off, which I'm not used to doing. I should be having naps, but I think 'That's not me, that's boring'. But I'm having to give in to it.

'I used to think being pregnant would be the longest time in the world. But with going back and forth from London, with me working, Kris working, there's so much going on.

'After baby's born, I'll absolutely switch off. You have to. I just want to have the baby, shut the door, and take some time off work. That's it.'

She added that her sister Kylie would be with her after the birth in her home city of Melbourne, saying: 'We don't know when the baby will arrive yet, but she's easy with jumping on a plane at the drop of a hat.'

Ray-Ban sunglasses collection - Ray-Ban 3025 Aviator

For aviation the 1920s was a decade of remarkable advances. But with the development of new aeroplanes that could fly higher and higher came altitude-related problems. Pilots were suffering from headaches and nausea because of high level glare. In 1929, the US army asked Ray-Ban for a new type of eyewear that would protect pilots from glare at high altitudes. The company
succeeded and the Ray-Ban anti-glare eyewear was born.

The first model went on sale to the public in 1936, a plastic frame with the classic Aviator shape, and has since remained as a world wide fashion staple. Ray-Ban 3025 sunglasses, as seen on Dannii Minogue, recreate the timeless look of the original aviator and feature those unmistakable teardrop lenses. This iconic style has endured for nearly a century and is the ultimate fashion
statement. How many other eyewear brands can boast that their bestselling model has stayed popular for more than 70 years? Like the Ray-Ban wayfarer, Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses never look dated and remain fashionable year in, year out. Purchase your pair from the one and only Sunglasses Shop.
