Dannii Minogue feared for her life as the plane she was on was struck by lightning.

The Australia's Got Talent judge was left terrified when her plane from Melbourne to Sydney on Monday was caught up in a heavy thunderstorm.

She said: "It happened right next to where I was sitting. I was terrified - I thought it was all over.

"But no one else seemed worried, which was strange."

The plane eventually landed safely in Sydney, where Dannii was promoting Australian cosmetics company ModelCo.

It isn't the first time Dannii has been involved in a flight drama.

Two years ago, the 40-year-old beauty was flying from the UK to Australia during filming The X Factor when her plane was unable to land.

A friend of the star said at the time: "We had the most terrible landing. We were coming down to land and suddenly shot straight back up again.

"There was too much cloud and the pilot could not see the runway. It was all very scary."
