Pop princess Kylie Minogue looks fresh and fabulous as the covergirl of next month's Good Housekeeping magazine.

The 45-year-old singer guest edited an 11-page home interiors pull out for the issue and invited the magazine into her London home for the shoot.

Kylie spoke candidly about her split from model Andrés Velencoso last year, after five years together, but said it was a "healthy separation".

She said: "It was definitely sad for a while, because you’re no longer hanging out with your buddy, your best mate. But I think being so busy has been a blessing, and we’re still in touch."

The Australian singer, who has just released her twelfth studio album Kiss Me Once, said that she hadn't considered internet dating.

"Internet dating is fantastic and great in general, but I don’t think it’s for me. I certainly couldn’t lie about my age! That’s the classic, isn’t it? Putting up a picture of yourself from 10 years ago…"

Having recovered from breast cancer in 2005, Kylie said that she is "lucky to be here" and is embracing the ageing process: "When I say out loud I’m 45, I think: ‘Really? Wait a sec, how? That’s not right!’ You have to accept it, even if you don’t feel like accepting it sometimes."

The Into The Blue singer has a busy year ahead, with the finale of The Voice this Saturday and a European tour starting in September.

She said: “I really feel like 2014 is the year to reach out. That’s what I want to do, whether that’s The Voice, going on tour or new songs. I just want to deliver and share those things with my audience.”

The full interview appears in the May issue of Good Housekeeping, on sale Wednesday 9 April.
