Twenty-four years since Dannii Minogue last lived in Sydney, the new The X Factor judge is looking forward to setting up home here.

With the reality TV production based out of Sydney's Fox Studios, Minogue will be spending a lot more time here in the coming months.

"The last time I lived here was when I did Home and Away, when I was 17," she said. "It is amazing I'm still alive. Entertainment years are like dog years, it is a long time."

Minogue, 41, began her new role on X Factor last week, replacing Mel B on the judging panel. LMFAO’s Redfoo has replaced Guy Sebastian while Ronan Keating and Natalie Bassingthwaighte return to the show for another year.
