Dannii Minogue has admitted that her big sister Kylie approves of her boyfriend, Kris Smith.

The X Factor judge, says that Kylie likes the way Kris has calmed her down over the last year.

MSN quotes Dannii as saying: “Kylie loved him. She knows that he has me under control. I am much calmer these days, so she’s pleased about that!”

On how she feels about the rugby player Dannii said: “I have never experienced a love like this. I remember checking him out across the dancefloor in Ibiza. My friend went to speak to him for me! I was like, ‘Oh my God, don’t ask him to come over, what would I say to him?’”

“I was totally mortified! But in the end it was great! He made all the moves and the kiss was adorable.”

She added: “I never tire of looking at him. I’ve never gone for rugby players before – I’m not interested in all those muscles – but now I’m converted.”
