During an interview with Paris Match, pop star Kylie Minogue – who’s singing live on this weekend’s edition of The Voice – has revealed that her battle with breast cancer has left her with “mental and physical scars”.
However brave Kylie, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2005, went on to say that despite having “incredible anger” over her illness, she feels very lucky to have been a survivor, and said she now feels like “a cat with several lives.”
She said, “I feel like a cat, having had several lives. In my career as in my personal life, I made enough bad decisions to land me in deep water.
“Finally, I haven’t got out too badly.”
Of her cancer battle, Kylie added, “Over time, people have a tendency to forget about it. Not me.
“Not a day does not go by without me thinking about it. Just looking in a mirror is enough – the scars are moral and physical.
“There are days when I feel an incredible anger, others when I say that I was very lucky in my misfortune…
“I always try to present an optimistic picture. At first, I look very open, but basically, I’m pretty reserved.
“I knew I was strong, I was fortunate to be surrounded by people who really loved me.”
During her treatment for cancer, Kylie was dating Olivier Martinez, however, their relationship ended in 2007, and she’s currently seeing Spanish model Andres Velencoso, who she says is “the one.”
She told the magazine, “Love is hard work. I have never believed that marriage was the be all and end all.
“There are people who think that a beautiful story will last a lifetime. I tell myself it will last as long as it lasts, I’m less disappointed.
“I’m wiser, more tolerant, less demanding. I am very happy today because Andres totally respects who I am.
“If I’m looking resplendent or I wake up haggard, it is the same.
“And when I go into a spin for no reason, when I feel totally clueless, I ask myself a thousand questions, ‘Who I am, what I want, where I’m going?’ He is there.
“I am cured and very much in love – it helps! Andres is handsome, friendly and also very easy going.”
In 2009, Kylie’s sister, Dannii Minogue, revealed that her sibling’s fight for life had had a tremendous impact on the whole family.
While appearing on Pier Morgan’s Life Stories, former X Factor judge Dannii said, “All I wanted to do was get inside the door of the family home and see my gorgeous sister and hug her.”
