Singer set to star in Christmas special

Kylie Minogue is set to star in the Christmas special of 'Doctor Who'.

The singer will have a major lead role in the episode called 'Voyage Of The Damned', joining actor David Tennant in the hour-long show.

Executive producer Russell T Davies said: “This will be the most ambitious and best Christmas episode yet.”

Davies said that he was “delighted and excited” to confirm Minogue’s participation, reports BBC News.

Filming is scheduled to being in Cardiff later this month, while a teaser at the end of the recent series suggests the Christmas special will be based around a story involving the Titanic.
