'Padam Padam' singer Kylie Minogue joined our sister station Hits Radio for Answers The Internet, a series where we find the questions that the real fans want to know answers to, and get artists, such as the fantastic Kylie, to answer.

While Kylie is known for a whole host of fantastic songs, dating all the way back to the late 80s, up to the present day, with the release of her 16th studio album 'Tension', she's also a talented actress, having started out in Neighbours.

She also appeared in several other shows and films including Moulin Rouge! and Kath & Kim, and in 2007, she took on the role of Astrid Peth in Doctor Who. Describing the experience as "amazing to be in such a beloved show", alongside David Tennant, Kylie hinted that she wouldn't be adverse to returning to the TV. She told us: "I wouldn't mind if Astrid Peth came back," before whispering: "Just saying!"

Kylie's fans are very creative, and not only has one fan made 'Voyage of the Padam-ed', a play on the Doctor Who episode she appeared in, and her huge single 'Padam Padam', the staff at Hobbycraft Wimbledon went viral with their video for 'Padam Padam'.

Kylie admitted she almost fell off her chair when she saw it: "Hobbycraft Wimbledon... I nearly fell off my chair when all the first memes and videos and TikToks and so forth were coming through for ‘Padam’" she explained.

"Hobbycraft Wimbledon went to extra lengths. I mean, they must have missed out on a few sales that day because they were very busy Padamming."

Now with 16 albums out, Kylie revealed the secret to her longevity in the music industry in a special interview with Magic Breakfast presenter Harriet Scott where she explained: ""I love being creative and trying something new."

You can hear songs by Kylie Minogue on Magic.

Ever thought about singing some Kylie at karaoke?

1) Queen - 'Don't Stop Me Now'

This is probably the most challenging tune on the list, simply because of Freddie Mercury's falsetto at the beginning. We know you can do it, though - believe in yourself and channel your inner Queen!

2) Rick Astley - 'Never Gonna Give You Up'

Magic Radio fave Rick Astley dropped by the Magic Breakfast Show to give an exclusive performance to celebrate our 100% Christmas Live session. This song is one of the most beloved songs in the entire world, so we couldn't exactly leave it off! The words are easy to remember, and it's not too high or too low! You can count on Rick.

Everyone loves 'Uptown Girl'! It reminds us of those old 'NOW' compilation CDs we used to get for Christmas. Bring this out at karaoke and everyone will love you.

Even Robbie Williams can't manage to sing 'Angels' live anymore without everyone singing (sometimes shouting) along from the beginning! It's no surprise though... You can't get better than this crowd-pleaser.
