Dannii Minogue reveals pain of living in Kylie's shadow in tell-all

 Television beauty Dannii Minogue has revealed the pain of being constantly compared to her famous sister Kylie in a new book.

The X Factor judge has said in her autobiography My Story how her lowest point came when her marriage ended and her record label dumped her.

"I was struggling with the stark realisation that nobody wanted me - not my record company, not my husband and definitely not the public," News of the World quoted her as writing.

"I tried not to get too 'woe is me' about it but as the weeks went on the only time I saw my name in print or heard it mentioned on TV or radio was as the less successful Minogue sister.

"Things like, Dannii's bitter jealousy over Kylie's continued success, Dannii's fashion faux pas and Kylie's triumphs. Hey, isn't Kylie bloody fabulous, everyone? And isn't Dannii tragic?

"I can tell you, it's not easy to be publicly pitted against someone you love and admire. It hurts," she said.

She continued: "The truth of the matter is I never felt like I was competing with my sister.

"Although I got very tired of the constant comparisons, and doing interview after interview in which I'd be asked more questions about her than about myself, it wasn't because I hated her and felt jealousy towards her.

"It was the opposite. The truth is I am and always have been so very proud of Kylie, and she is of me."
