Who brings Kylie to South Wales?

KYLIE MINOGUE braved the Welsh rain yesterday as she filmed scenes for her forthcoming appearance in Doctor Who.

The diminutive pop star spent the day in Swansea recording her role in the hit BBC Wales show’s Christmas special.

But fortunately for the Australian, her pink umbrella was only called upon to help her dodge showers as she nipped out for lunch, with most of her scenes being shot indoors on a miserable day in South Wales.

The episode featuring the former Neighbours star sees Kylie playing a waitress on the Titanic, and it is believed the building on the city’s Adelaide Street in which yesterday’s action took place has been chosen because its wood panelling may replicate the doomed cruiseliner’s interior.

Kylie has spoken of her nerves about taking on her first acting role for 15 years, but seems to have thrown herself into the role, arriving for work at 7am yesterday and not breaking for lunch until 2pm.

Wearing black lace-up boots and a knee-length black jacket, she then emerged from the building under a bright pink umbrella, smiling happily at onlookers.


The singer, whose mother is Welsh, has taken on the role in the sci-fi drama as she seeks to rebuild her career after suffering from breast cancer.


Filming has so far taken her to both Cardiff and Swansea.
