The news comes as Kylie recently confirmed reports that she was moving back to her native Australia after residing in Britain for almost 30 years. 

Speaking on Samantha Armytage’s podcast, Kylie’s sister Dannii Minogue said the family were surprised by the news of the pop icon’s imminent relocation.   

‘It’s weird for us, because she’s been here for most of the year so for us she’s already moved back,’ she added. It just came up in a conversation so it became public, but it wasn’t like, “Now we’re going to a press release on this!

‘We were all a bit shocked by the reaction from it, but then it was really nice. It felt like Melbourne was excited and Australia was excited and that she would be so welcomed home.’

Kylie has already taken steps to formalise her move, having changed the service address for her four main businesses to an address in Hawthorn, an inner suburb of Melbourne.

The singer told friends she wanted to live closer to her family, including her parents Carol and Ron, siblings Brendan and Dannii and nephew Ethan.
