Singer, "X Factor" host and Kylie's sister - Dannii Minogue has joined the cast of the British spy thriller "Vauxhall Crossed" reports Ananova.

Hugo Speer, Ewen MacIntosh and Sarah Jayne Dunn star in the project and producers are keen to cast Rhys Ifans as the film's psychotic villain.

Dannii's role is said to be small but significant as MI6 Agent Rio Ruse - a sexy lab tech who also wields a pump action shot gun and saves fellow agent Speer in a shoot-out.
