Kylie Minogue is afraid of this household item – and now she’s selling it

Published 10:49 28 Sept 2023 BST

It's normal to have fears of flying, spiders, the dark, honestly the list goes on and on, but it's another thing to fear something and then sell it.

Yet that's exactly what Kylie Minogue is doing and lowkey we have to admire her business-savvy mind. The Australian singer previously opened up about her phobia of hangers. No, we're not joking, those things you hang your clothes on send shivers down her spine. The Spinning Around singer is selling a pack of three wooden hangers branded with her name across the top that will run you a cool £25 or €29.92 without shipping if you want to be exact. Speaking about how it affects her wardrobe to Elle, Kylie said: "It's a room in my house where everything is laid out - and it never looks like other people's wardrobes do in magazine shoots.

Though strange, it is a real thing and we know this because it has been given an official name; kremastraphobia. Now why she decided to sell the item she mentioned having a fear of over ten years ago to fans we're not too sure but it is very funny. One thing we do know for sure is that the 55-year-old is making moves as her new album Tension is on it's way to number one, making it her ninth record to do so. In fact, it's doing so well that it's set to kick the current pop-princess Olivia Rodrigo and her latest release, Guts, off the top spot, outselling it by over 35,000. And she's not ready to slow down just yet telling iHeartRadio that she was 'eager to get back in the studio,' even though she just dropped her sixteenth studio album.
