Dannii Minogue wears designer Kleshna Poppy for Poppy Appeal photo:Rex Features

TV celebrities such as X Factor judges Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue and X Factor contestants are wearing Kleshna Poppies this year is testament to a new generation supporting today’s Armed Forces through the Poppy Appeal.

The Poppy has become an enduring symbol of Remembrance Sunday each year when the
nation falls silent to remember the courage of past and present generations of the armed
forces who have lost their lives.

This year The Royal British Legion has worked with the talented designer Kleshna and proceeds from her special edition Poppies will all go to the Poppy Appeal.Acclaimed jewellery designer, Kleshna, has been working with the Royal British Legion for a while now, particularly supplying celebrities with special poppies, and this year she has produced a new collection of jewellery, all featuring the Poppy and all profits will be given to the charity so that it can continue with the incredible work it does.

However, celebrity endorsement this year has been so successful through Twitter and the celebrity media that the bespoke sparkly Poppies, sported on the TV last weekend, are literally a sell out success.

Proceeds from other bespoke Poppy jewellery available at www.kleshna.com will alo go to The Royal British Legion as do those from our conventional paper versions of the well know red flower.

The Royal British Legion believes that wearing a Poppy is a personal choice and state they are grateful to everyone who wears a poppy, including those in the public eye, and encourage everyone to support them at this important time of year.

Dannii Minogue

Dannii Minoogue is the cover star featured in this month’s InStyle magazine in the UK, here are some of the highlights from her in depth and frank interview from the publication.

Dannii seems genuinely surprised at how pregnancy has changed her,  “I never saw myself as having kids, so now it’s happened I’m still in shock, I’m the person who not long ago said, ‘No, we’re not having kids’. But now I’m thinking, ‘Maybe I’ll want another one?’ I’m looking at Heidi Klum – she’s on the red carpet pregnant, has a baby, then she gets pregnant again and has another baby. She manages to be a mother, run a few different companies and produce her own TV show.”

“I don’t know what the pregnancy hormone is, but I wish I could bottle it and have it forever,” she says, patting her bump. “I’m so calm and I just laugh at everything. Kris keeps saying, ‘Who stole my girlfriend? Who are you?’ I’m normally more wound up and controlling.”

On her relationship with Kris Smith who she met in 2008, Dannii says;

“On paper, it shouldn’t work. You shouldn’t meet ‘the one’ in a nightclub in Ibiza! He’s very calm, very chilled out. Whereas I’m over-motivated and doing too much. He’ll say, ‘Will you stop doing these things and calm down’. I need that around me. He says things to me all the time that make me go… ‘That’s exactly what I want to hear’. It’s a girl’s dream, he says the things you want your boyfriend to say. But he doesn’t take any s*** from me – he tells me off when I need to be told off.”

Kris appears to be the rock that was missing in Dannii’s life, he is reassuring over her insecurities during pregnancy and is protective and in control at home, “I can be vulnerable if I need to, Kris is very protective – physically and every other way. I love that. When you’re a working woman, you don’t want to come home and be the protector and be controlling things. You want the guy to do that.”

On sister Kylie, Dannii says;

“The most hilarious thing is that I don’t know anything about looking after kids. Even when I’m with my nephews, I look at my brother Brendan and at Kylie like, ‘What do I do next?’” she laughs. “Kylie is a natural with kids. The  last time she was back in Australia, we all went to our family farm. I looked out the back window and I could see her rolling across the grass with our nephew and I thought, ‘She just knows what to do’.”

Dannii has admitted to using Botox in the past, but her face shows none of the telltale signs today. There is movement in her forehead when she smiles (frequently) and she has soft laughter lines, she says;

“When I used Botox for a period, constantly, it was just to hide all the grief I was going through – with what was happening to my sister, then losing my friend. I couldn’t even look in the mirror, I was so sad. Now, I’m happy not to have Botox and I don’t mind all the expression lines”

She shrugs and grins. “For 38, I’m not doing too bad.”
