Dannii Minogue treated hubby Kris Smith like staff

Just a week after cracks appeared in their relationship, a source has ‘spilled the beans’ on why Kris Smith walked out on Dannii Minogue. 

It has emerged that the football player-turned-model had become tired of being treated "like staff" by his more famous de facto wife, and felt ignored and forgotten by his better half.

"Kris felt that he had become an extension of Minogue's team of assistants," news.com.au quoted a source as telling Confidential magazine.

"Someone she just dealt with, like a nanny or a secretary. Not one half of a loving relationship. Their conversations were cut down to the bone. The only thing they talk about is business and travel," the source added.

Rumours that Dannii Minogue and Kris Smith were having trouble started doing the rounds after the couple exchanged messages on Twitter last month.
