Kylie Minogue says charisma is the "magic ingredient" she's looking for in a man

Asked what qualities she looks for in a guy, the 46-year-old beauty said: "Charisma - it's the magic ingredient. I like someone to be strong, sensitive, definitely humorous and someone with whom you can have a good time. My man needs to be understanding of my career because it's a little particular. There's a lot of travel and attention from a lot of people.

"My man will have my love, but he will need to accept how I wake up in the morning - which is just like everyone else. You don't wake up ready, it is not the image that I project to the world, so they need to understand both sides of me."

Kylie - who has previously dated late INXS rocker Michael Hutchence, actor Olivier Martinez and Spanish model Andres Velencoso - also admitted it can be difficult dealing with breakups in the public eye.

She added to Britain's HELLO! magazine: "There is a phrase that I really latched onto during the darker times, 'You are normal'. Life presents us with some big challenges and some beautiful moments, but it becomes normal."
