She is the Australian singer who famously posed naked in a racy cover shoot for Playboy in 1995.

But Dannii Minogue, 47, has revealed she is still proud of the photos and said she felt in 'complete control' of the experience.

'Mum and Dad did not want me to do it. They're like "Once it’s done it's done and you can never go back,"' she said in an upcoming interview with Anh's Brush With Fame.

'They offered me this amazing situation to sort a problem I'd got myself into and I don't regret it one bit,' she said.

'It was an amazing experience - I'm still happy with the photos today.'

Back in 2009, Dannii spoke in depth about the shoot - saying she turned to Playboy because she did not want to ask her sister Kylie for help.

'Kylie knew why I was doing it. I could have asked her for the money, but it wasn't in my nature.

'I never wanted to admit the trouble I was in. I should have been looking at my finances.'

The pay cheque also allowed her then-husband Julian McMahon to launch his acting career - who was also a topic of conversation in Anh's painting studio. 

The singer married Julian, the son of Lady Sonia and former prime minister William McMahon, in 1994 and split one year later.

'There's a certain social pecking order and I was definitely not in that scene (Julian's family),' admitted Dannii during the upcoming episode quoted by The Daily Telegraph.  

The former pop star met her now ex-husband Julian on the set of Australian TV drama Home and Away.

Dannii starred as tomboy punk Emma Jackson from September 1989 until August 1990.

Meanwhile, Julian, 50, played Benito Lucini from 1990 until 1991.
