Kylie Minogue offers advice to Britney

Kylie Minogue had advised Britney Spears to seek help for her current problems.

The Aussie singer claimed she suffered a similar breakdown in her early career and revealed that it was only by having good friends around that she was able to resolve her problems.

Talking about Spears, she told The Sun: "Who knows what is going on in her life? Britney isn’t that young anymore. I think she will still come back but it’s like she’s taken an extended holiday.

"Whatever help she needs, she should reach out and get it."

Minogue added: "I wish someone would write a manual about fame because it’s not easy.

"I’m always loath to say that because there are a lot more difficulties out there that people deal with every day - but when fame is handed to you, it is unique.

"It’s not to the same extreme, but I can remember having a mini-meltdown myself - and unless you’ve got good people around to support you, you’ve got a problem."
