Dannii Minogue is pregnant with her first child, her spokesman confirmed today.

The 38-year-old is expecting a baby with her former rugby player boyfriend Kris Smith.

The pop star turned X Factor judge received the results of her 12-week scan today and she and her partner were said to be "delighted".

Minogue's spokesman Simon Jones said: "Dannii and Kris are very excited and can't wait to start their family in 2010.

"Rumours and stories surfaced across the weekend about Dannii being pregnant and having already had her 12-week scan.

"These stories were incorrect. Dannii had her 12-week scan this week and was given the results today with the all-clear to make an announcement."

The baby is due in July.
