Dannii reveals her weight loss was due to health issue

Dannii Minogue has spoken about the health issue she dealt with quietly after her son Ethan's birth.

At one point, she had lost so much weight and had so little energy that she could barely pick her little boy up - and it was all due to a thyroid issue.

She told The Daily Mail:

"My thyroid stopped working and I had appendicitis. Leading up to that I was getting thinner and thinner, and stressing because I didn’t know what it was. Normally you put on weight if you have an under-active thyroid. But there is a percentage of people that have it reversed.

"It was very hard to concentrate, you can’t sleep and I got very weak. They explain it to you as running a car without petrol. I was finding it hard to pick Ethan up and I was thinking 'I’m a new mum, I know I’m tired, but surely it can’t be this hard?'

'When you’re just had a baby you think it must be normal tiredness. But it got to the point where I thought, 'This cannot be normal'."

We're glad she's well again now, and able to speak about it so candidly.
