Dannii Minogue's lover 'plans proposal'

Dannii Minogue's boyfriend Kris Smith is planning to pop the question, a report has claimed.

X Factor judge Minogue recently flew home to Australia to watch Smith make his debut as a catwalk model.

According to the Daily Star, the former rugby player has already bought an engagement ring for his lover and will propose before she jets back to London for the ITV1 talent show.

A source commented: "It's going to be a trip full of shockers."

Rumours of an impending proposal first emerged in May this year, with insiders describing the couple as "head over heels". They started dating last summer.
