Who loves a corset
July 4, 2007 
Corset-loving Kylie Minogue is to star in the Christmas special of Doctor Who, the BBC has announced.
Although her character has not as yet been described in detail, the 39-year-old will enjoy a "major lead role", according to the BBC.
The hour-long special, which will be entitled Voyage of the Damned, is set to start filming in Cardiff later this month.
The episode, which was written by Doctor Who's executive producer and head writer, Russell T Davies, will follow on from the end of the third series, which has just been broadcast.
Mr Davies said: "We are delighted and excited to announce that Kylie Minogue will be joining the Doctor. 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."
Although her co-star David Tenant may have been more than happy to see her in a corset, Kylie's costume has yet to be announced.
Ms Minogue said: "It is an incredible thrill to be joining David and the entire Doctor Who production for this year's Christmas special. Doctor Who enjoys a unique history and it is going to be very exciting to be a part of that."
