Kylie joins Doctor Who
Kylie Minogue is set to join David Tennant in the TV Christmas Special of Doctor Who.
The 39-year-old pop superstar is said to have a "major lead role" in the hour-long special called Voyage of the Damned, which starts filming in Cardiff in July.
The story will follow on directly from the ending of the third series which finished on Saturday.
Minogue said: "It is an incredible thrill to be joining David and the entire Dr Who production for this year's Christmas special. Dr Who enjoys a unique history and it is going to be very exciting to be a part of that."
The episode has been written by Doctor Who's executive producer and head writer Russell T Davies.
He said: "We are delighted and excited to announce that Kylie Minogue will be joining the Doctor."
He continued: "Doctor Who Christmas specials are always a joy and we feel very confident that this will be the most ambitious and best Christmas episode yet."
The fourth series of Doctor Who is expected to return in Spring next year.
