Kylie Minogue says 'toyboy' label on boyfriend is disrespectful

Kylie Minogue has spoken out about the 'toyboy' title given to her boyfriend, insisting it's disrespectful.

Last month the 47-year-old singer confirmed she was dating 27-year-old British actor Joshua Sasse on Australian radio.

But speaking to a national newspaper, she said she doesn't like him being called a 'toyboy'.

"I think it's derogatory to both of us. I would love to nuke that word. It bounces off us because it's not like that with us. But God, I'd love to see the back of it."

The two met while filming for the US TV show Galavant and revealed that the relationship is 'going great' adding "there's birds flying around my head all the time".

Sounds like she's smitten!

Kylie’s festive album, 'Kylie Christmas' is out now.
