Dannii Minogue's 2006 Comments About Russell Brand Resurface

A 20-year-old warning from Australian singer and TV personality Dannii Minogue, in which she described Russell Brand as a "vile predator", has resurfaced.

Back in 2006, Minogue appeared on Brand's MTV chat show 1 Leicester Square to promote her album The Hits and Beyond.

Following the interview, she spoke to The Mirror about an uncomfortable encounter with the show's presenter.

The singer alleged that Brand repeatedly asked for her phone number, made comments about her "fabulous breasts" and refused to "take no for an answer".

"He is completely crazy and a bit of a vile predator," she told the publication after the encounter. "I certainly don't think he has cured his sex addiction, that's for sure. He always goes that step too far. Never quite far enough to slap his face, but usually too far."

Minogue also explained that his remarks during the interview had left her feeling uneasy.

"Throughout the whole interview, he kept making shocking remarks that I can't even repeat," she recalled. "Just uttering the words would make me blush."

Her past comments have resurfaced following Brand's conviction for raping one woman and three counts of sexual assault, with the offences taking place between 2004 and 2009.

He received a nine-year prison sentence for rape, alongside additional sentences of 18 months, nine months and eight months for the sexual assault offences.
