Kylie Minogue: Difference between revisions

}}'''Kylie Minogue''' (born [[28 May (people)|28 May]] [[1968 (people)|1968]]<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-44277328</ref>) is a singer and actress. She played [[Astrid Peth]] in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' story ''[[Voyage of the Damned]]''.

Kylie Minogue co-starred in ''[[Voyage of the Damned]]'', which aired on [[Christmas Day]] 2007 and in which she plays the [[Tenth Doctor|tenth incarnation]]'s temporary companion [[Astrid Peth]]. This makes her one of the few individuals to appear in the series after having been directly referenced by the show (in ''The Idiot's Lantern''). The announcement of her casting in the special came shortly after her return to performance after her battle with breast cancer.

Minogue has been photographed with a copy of the [[BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures]] novel ''[[Camera Obscura]]''. This, plus her use of [[Cyberman]] imagery in her stage show, have led to ''[[Doctor Who]]'' fans to speculate that she enjoys the series. She has recently stated in an interview that they are correct and she is indeed a fan.<ref>http://www.gallifreyone.com/news.php {{which}}</ref>

Minogue was awarded the Order of the British Empire (OBE) by Prince Charles only a couple of days before archived footage of her Doctor Who character, Astrid, made an appearance in ''[[Journey's End]]''.

The [[Tenth Doctor]] once quoted Minogue's song "[[Never Too Late]]". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Idiot's Lantern]]'')
