Out and About: Dannii Minogue is spotted with baby Ethan and partner Kris Smith's mother in London


She has a hectic schedule juggling her role as judge and mentor on the X Factor with caring for three-month-old baby Ethan.

And with her own parents far away in Melbourne, it must be a relief for Dannii Minogue that partner Kris Smith's family are relatively close by in Manchester

Today she got a helping hand from Kris' mother, who looked more than happy to carry her grandson while the trio ran errands in London today.


Dannii wore a stylish ensemble of sheer black top, trousers and jacket with electric blue heels, and carried her grey and black animal-print coat that she wore the night before.

The 38-year-old appeared in great spirits today after a successful weekend on the X Factor. None of her three remaining contestants were in the bottom three on last night's results show.

Kris and his mother accompanied Dannii to the results show, and was spotted carrying Ethan in his car seat as they left the show.

The model and former rugby player tweeted before heading to the studios: 'Sunny Sunday off to X Factor with my beautiful better half our gorgeous son and the best mother in the world. Life sure is good.'

Kris' parents travelled to Australia after Ethan was born in July to help care for their grandson.They were spotted on outings with their son and grandson taking in the sights of the city.

Dannii joked recently that Ethan will have 'his own dressing room' in the X Factor studios.

She also revealed that she and Kris are already planning baby number two: '[Kris has] put that on the shopping list – another baby,' she told Glamour magazine.

'We bought a seven-seater family car the other week. He’s looking at it and is ready to fill it.’
