Dannii Minogue: 'Villeneuve Taught Me So Much'

Australian pop star Dannii Minogue is glad she dated Formula One champion JACQUES VILLENEUVE, because he taught her "so much" about motor racing.

The pair were together for eighteen months during 2000 and 2001 and Minogue learned a lot during their relationship.

She says, "When I met him, I didn't even know what Formula One was, let alone he was the champion at it. The first thing I said to him was, 'So what do you do? Drive around in circles for a living?'

"He taught me everything about Formula One and now I am a massive fan.

"I love Jacques to pieces, I always will. I learned so many things from him; it helped me grow so much, but it just wasn't meant to be forever."
