Now, in an incredibly honest interview with The Sunday Times, Minogue reveals that she flew to Thailand for a short holiday with her friends to help her get over the break-up.

“I just wanted to stop,” she says.

“I knew I needed to heal my… my physical system was compromised. I think it’s called a nervous breakdown.”

Minogue adds that she only needed six days of recovery time, though, saying: “I think I reacted pretty quickly.

“I can take a nose dive pretty fast, but I won’t stay there long.”

A lot of that was due to the fact that, while she was away, Minogue realised that she had been getting married for all the wrong reasons.

“I went through all the motions of ‘This is what people do’,” she says, referring to the strict societal expectations that so many women are expected to adhere to: find a husband, get married, and settle down into a life of quiet domesticity (ideally while popping out a few sprogs along the way).

“But it wasn’t the right union. I’ve never been that woman, that girl who dreams of walking down the aisle.”
