Kylie and Dannii Minogue seen together for first time in six years on sister shopping trip

Kylie and Dannii Minogue have been spotted making an ultra rare joint appearance, as they were seen together for the first time in six years.

The sisters were photographed splashing the cash as they shopped at Melbourne's Casino complex this week.

It's the first time they have been seen pictured in each other's company since 2015.

The famous siblings kept it casual for their outing, both sticking to the coronavirus guidelines in face masks.

Big sis Kylie, 52, also opted for sunglasses and a baseball cap as she walked beside Dannii, 49, who has escaped the limelight in recent years.

While Kylie hit the headlines this week after reports her beau Paul Solomon had proposed.

Paul's step-mum Gloria said she was 'thrilled' the couple of two years were engaged - before Kylie's team shut the rumours down saying they were 'happy as they are.'

Previously unlucky-in-love Kylie has been dating the GQ creative director, 46, since 2018.

Kylie has been living and working in the UK since the 1990s but last month left the Chelsea home she shares with beau Paul to return to Australia and spend time with her family.

Her younger sister Danii lives in Melbourne with her ten-year-old son Ethan.

After joining The X Factor panel in 2007, Dannii became a regular face on British TV until she quit the show in 2011.

Dannii put her departure down to a schedule clash with Australia's Got Talent filming and she was replaced by Kelly Rowland.

During her time as an X Factor judge, Danni came in from some tough criticism from musicians in the industry - including Ronan Keating and Noel Gallagher - who questioned her credentials.

She was fiercely defended by sister Kylie, who told Elle magazine at the time: "I'm so proud of my sister and it annoys the hell out of me when comparisons between us are made.

"In England you lot don't know where she came from. She was on TV every week from 7 years old.

"It makes it harder for her when she gets Louis Walsh's rather pathetic jibes – one of which is she hasn't had a hit record and that's just not true."

Despite some backlash, Dannii was a hit with viewers but later admitted she did not always enjoy her time on the show.

After the fifth series, Dannii said she would 'never want to go through that again' but ended up being persuaded back for another year.

In 2009 she chose Stacey Solomon to be in her Girls category, with the would-be singer making it all the way to the final where she finished in third palce.

The series was eventually won by Geordie singer Joe McElderry.
