Australian pop star Dannii Minogue loves being short because it is more comfortable on aeroplanes.

Minogue, who is the new face of the British high street chain Marks and Spencer, recently had her first modelling assignment for the retailer and was amused to discover she was considerably smaller than the other stars, including singer V.V. Brown and models Twiggy and Lisa Snowdon, reported contactmusic.com

'It was like being back at school in grade photos: 'All the smaller kids down the front!' Twiggy kindly wore flats and I still rocked a wedge or a high stiletto to try and keep up.'

'Minogue genes are good for lots of travel on aeroplanes, you can snuggle into a seat,' she said.
