Natalie Bassingthwaighte, 34, host of Channel 10's So You Think You Can Dance, talks with Kate Minogue about being pregnant, her wellbeing and her plans for the future as she moves into the next phase of her life. At the moment I love being pregnant. Apart from being tired, I love how my body is changing, it's bizarre.

I don't know if it's because I'm pregnant, but I'm loving the bonds that the dancers have this year. It's always special, but from the very beginning the dancers had so much enthusiasm and it's beautiful to be around. Their courage is inspiring. I'm fortunate I get to go on the journey with them. I have a new appreciation for women who are working and pregnant I feel like I'm part of a club now. I'm lucky I'm only working three days a week, but they are 10- to 14-hour days and I'm wearing those big high heels. It takes me almost a day-and-a-half to get over working!

As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I went overboard and got rid of all my skin and hair products with chemicals in them. I'm back to using most things now, but I'm still cautious about what I eat. I have always been a healthy eater and I have never really dieted or been strict on myself as far as that goes. I know what my body needs and, I've always thought, 'what I put into it is what I get out of it'. It's a holistic approach – the mind-body connection is really important to me.

    Is dance a sport or not? Some people in our world today consider dance just to be all frilly and fragile. Dance takes time, effort, determination and impeccable strength. I believe that dance is a sport because it has the same components as any other sport. In any other sport you need to work hard with a lot of effort, and that is exactly what dancers do. For example, most beginning dancers practice between five to ten hours a week. Although most people in our world today look at dancing as nothing more than tutus and twirling, a good dancer must have a mind mentally engaged, a body able to endure physical challenges, and toned dedication and skill.
