Dannii Minogue has revealed that she decided to bare all for Playboy mag when she found herself in the midst of a financial crisis after her split with ex-hubby Julian McMahon in 1995.
The singer then decided to strip her way to money in order to pay her 150,000-pound debt rather then asking her superstar sis Kylie for help.
"My parents didn't want me to do it. My dad was saying, "Doing this is forever - you can never, ever change it"," the Daily Express quoted Dannii, as saying.
"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,” she said.
She added: "I would never disclose how much - but it had to be a lot to look at my parents'' faces and see the anguish in my dad''s eyes.
"I don't regret it, but I feel relieved that people know why I did it - it's a huge weight off my shoulders. It was actually fun and I did feel liberated. I looked at the pictures and thought, "I look alright!"
