She has had a stellar year winning the X Factor successfully launching her own clothing line, and by the looks of things home life is just blissful too.

The family enjoyed a day out shopping and there was no shortage of attention for their beautiful baby boy.

Salford-born Kris also made the most of the Aussie sunshine wearing a green T-shirt and khaki shorts and even little Ethan was dressed in a pair of blue shorts.
Although Kris carried the little bundle around for most of the day, Dannii cooed over her little boy and tenderly stroked his head making a touching family scene.
Daddy duties: Ethan looked comfy as he hitched a ride on Kris' armAnd it seemed Dannii couldn't resist getting a cuddle from Ethan and held him close as Kris did some shopping.
The family enjoyed a light lunch in a café followed by some shopping for hair products.
But it has not all been relaxation for the mum-of-one, who has used her time in Australia to promote her autobiography Dannii Minogue: My Story.
Mummy cuddle: Dannii cuddled baby Ethan as Kris was doing some shoppingAnd during a book signing in Melbourne Dannii was rather taken with a young fan showing her mind is clearly focused on children.
The X Factor judge has never made a secret of her desire to have a large family, saying recently: 'We've just bought a seven-seater car and I wanted to fill it with babies. I liked being pregnant, I really did
'I could definitely see myself having another one at some point. I'm not sure about filling the car. They can just bring their friends! It is really great now though.'
And she added in a recent interview that her rugby player-turned-model beau is also keen to add another tot to their family, adding: '[Kris has] put that on the shopping list: another baby!'
