Dannii Minogue has admitted that her dramatic weight loss last year left her "permanently exhausted".

After giving birth to son Ethan in July 2010, the 'All I Wanna Do' singer split her work commitments between Australia's Got Talent and The X Factor in the UK.

She told Fabulous: "The truth is I have been very sick... I was travelling back and forth from Australia to the UK doing The X Factor.

"I was jet lagged, on the go non-stop. I was losing weight, permanently exhausted, I didn't feel like myself."

The 39-year-old recently revealed that an underactive thyroid was the catalyst for her weight problems.

She has also maintained that she has no regrets over quitting X Factor, hinting that it has improved her relationship with long-time partner Kris Smith.

Minogue added: "I have to see what happened as a positive. My body forced me to rebalance my life. I needed to look after myself, my son and be at home with Kris. We needed to get through it together which is what we've done."
