'I'm done with Botox', says Australian singer Dannii Minogue

The 37-year-old Australian pop star-turned TV presenter has told British magazine Grazia the time has come to give up having the anti-ageing injections.

"I see the comments. Plastic. All Botox," she told the magazine.

"I can see what people see, but I have to say that - while I have been open about doing it - I'm not doing it now," she says.

"There is so much more pressure on women. If you can get older and be happier within yourself, that's the main thing."

Minogue has been lambasted in several British newspapers and celebrity magazines for her taut-looking face.

Some even criticised her for lacking facial expressions while appearing as a judge on the high-rating television talent show X Factor.

The former Young Talent Time star is due to return to British TV screens in September when the latest X Factor series begins.

"For the X Factor, it is actually quite useful to be able to have facial expressions," Minogue says, adding that the show is "the biggest thing that has ever happened to me."
