Kylie Minogue has said she can identify with Angelina Jolie's recent decision to speak publicly about having her ovaries removed.
On tonight's (sat) The Jonathan Ross Show, when asked if she identifies with Angelina publicly discussing the removal of her ovaries, the Australian singer said: "To a point, I mean cancer has many forms.
"I guess, I can only say to a point I did because I don't really know her story, she doesn't really know my story.
"Cancer has probably touched everyone in this audience in some way or another and all the stories are different, but certainly in as much as she felt it was her duty to talk about it.
"I never questioned, not for a split second did I think of not saying what I had."
Minogue was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2005 and spoke about celebrating her upcoming ten-year all-clear milestone.
She said: "I'm good. I have yet to reach my ten-year mark, which I imagine I'll be having a bit of champagne and crying a lot and feeling very happy and joyful and thanking all my friends and family.
"It's quite difficult to talk about it in interview situations because it's deep, and it's long and it's involved and it's hard to really say what it was in a neat package. It's pretty strange."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
