SYDNEY—Kylie Minogue hasn't announced plans to tour Down Under any time soon, but Australians will be able to get their fix of the pop princess in a dramatic episode of the UK TV show Doctor Who this weekend.
The singer plays glamorous waitress Astrid Peth in the Titanic themed episode, which will finally air on the ABC on Sunday.
It sees Minogue with the time travelling doctor, played by David Tennant, before a surprise ending.
The former Neighbours soapie star has said she was nervous about playing the role, but ultimately fell in love with the character.
"I've a lot of affection for Astrid - she's a waitress, a dreamer, alone, and wants to travel," Minogue told The Radio Times late last year.
"Perhaps that's like me when younger, but I had opportunities, and she's still struggling.
"Doctor Who goes back to my roots as an actress."
Voyage of the Damned was labelled the best ever Doctor Who show when it was broadcast in the UK to a record TV audience late last year.
Kylie, now aged 40, is on a European tour, with dates coming up in Britain.
The movie length episode will air on the ABC on Sunday at 7.30pm (AEST).
