Dannii Minogue praises One Direction: "They were the best thing at the BRITs"

Dannii Minogue has heaped praise on British boyband One Direction.

The Mirror quotes the media star as saying that the group were more than helpful when they visited her native Australia.

Minogue said that she ended up backstage at their concert alongside a friend and her daughters, with the 'Kiss You' singers more than hospitable. She said:

"My friend has two daughters, 10 and 13, and we went in backstage, VIP. The 1D boys came out, met the girls and gave them books, pictures and posters. They were amazing."

Dannii added that she thought Harry Styles and Co.'s performance at February's BRIT Awards was the most impressive part of the ceremony, saying: "I thought they were the best thing at the Brits."

Minogue has previously lavished praise on the One Direction lads, saying: "'They are such good guys. The excitement around them is amazing. I think it's a bit of a return to wholesome pop music, which is nice."
