Dannii Minogue stands by nude Playboy photoshoot even if her son, 12, sees it on Google

Dannii Minogue has spoken out about her nude Playboy photoshoot and the risk of her son and his friends seeing it one day.

Despite rising to fame on Australian soap Home and Away, Dannii Minogue found herself broke by 1995.

Struggling to find a way to make ends meet, she was presented with the opportunity of working with Playboy for enough money to get back on her feet and so took to the cover of the notorious magazine in the early 90s - completely nude.

The 51-year-old actor and musician now has a 12-year-old son - Ethan born back in 2010 - which has led her to question how her shoot may be perceived if spotted online by him and his friends.

The image in question shows Minogue on Playboy Australia's October cover in 1995.

Minogue can be seen standing naked with her hands covering her top half and lower half cut out of the shot, smiling at the camera.

The caption reads: "Stunning nude pictorial! Dannii Minogue."

Whether her son and his friends see the image or not, Minogue still 'stand[s] by those photos' as the shoot was 'personally empowering' to her.

Minogue told The Guardian: "My son’s 12, he and his friends are all on their phones, they’ll be Googling, pictures will come up – but I still absolutely 100 percent stand by that as a complete feminist move.

"Anyone can look at those pictures and you can say whatever you want about them. My body, my choice, my space. I controlled everything about the photos, the shoot, everything. And it just made me feel powerful."

While Minogue's son's opinion of her Playboy cover shoot may not have too much of an impact on the singer, another man in her life certainly did have something to say when she told him she would be shooting for the magazine.

Prior to saying yes to the shoot with Playboy, Minogue was told by her father he believed it was 'the worst move' he thought she could make.

"He just hands down said: I do not want you to do this," Minogue explains.

It's unclear if Minogue's father, accountant Ronald Charles Minogue, has had a change of heart since.

The 51-year-old resolves: "I think that’s something we’ll revisit in conversation later. But maybe he can see it now, with me being a grown woman and a mum and still standing by those choices."
