KYLIE MINOGUE - KYLIE GIVES DR WHO A SHOULDER TO CRY ON

Pop star KYLIE MINOGUE has reportedly been comforting DR WHO star DAVID TENNANT, following the death of his mother from cancer.

The Australian beauty, who is currently filming in south Wales for her role in the DR WHO Christmas special, has only recently returned to public life after battling breast cancer last year, and did everything she could to look after Tennant.

A source told the Sun newspaper: "Kylie was really sympathetic. She knows how terrible cancer is and she took a lot of care to comfort David."

Filming on the BBC production has been pushed back one week while Tennant travels back to Scotland for his mother's funeral. The episode Voyage of the Damned, which will air at the end of the year, sees Kylie playing a waitress on the Titanic called Astrid, in need of rescuing by the Time Lord.

Rumours have been circulating recently that the singer has been secretly travelling to Paris, in an effort to sort out her relationship with ex-boyfriend OLIVER MARTINEZ.

However, a close friend told the Sun that she is making the trip to see Sheeba, the actor's dog. Apparently, the singer became very attached to the Rhodesian ridgeback during her illness last year.
