Dahm had a VIP seat next to the 02 arena’s stage so he could use his video camera to film her as she performed, the Sunday Mirror reported.

“Alex was standing about a metre away from Kylie,” an unnamed insider told the newspaper.

“He even got out his video camera to record the show.

“It was clear that whatever relationship they have, it’s stronger now than ever before.”

Kylie met the married father of two in Mexico in early 2007 when she was modelling swimwear for fashion chain H&M and Dahm was on a film shoot.

A few months later the pair were photographed together in Chile, with the Kylie suggesting that she was having a “mental affair” with Dahm.

The Sunday Mirror said this weekend’s visit to Britain was the second trip he had made in five months to Britain to stay with Kylie.

His last visit was in March when he spent much of his six-day visit at Kylie’s London apartment.

“Because Kylie and Alex are such good friends, she spoke to him loads about the tour during the planning stages,” a friend told the newspaper.

“So it was only right she invited him over to see the finished product.”

In all her incarnations - whether she’s a rock chick, pop princess or the girl-next-door - Kylie is universally admired for her irresistible beauty and inherent sexiness. Now, the essence of her sparkling, seductive charm has been captured in Sexy Darling, an alluring floral woody fragrance that tempts and enthrals.

Sexy Darling’s sensuality is built around the natural floral sexiness of the exotic belle de nuit flower and the red rose, enhanced by a mouth-watering pear note. A veil of musk and sandalwood unite them for a unique, exquisite signature. The resulting distinctive fragrance embodies Kylie’s glamorous, sexy femininity.

Kylie worked in close collaboration with Coty on the development of Sexy Darling. She says, “I firmly believe that sexiness is all to do with your state-of-mind, some people radiate an inner sense of self-esteem and beauty that’s irresistible. With Sexy Darling I wanted to capture this by creating a fragrance for today’s sexy, self assured woman who is passionate and playful… a woman who is seductive and sensual. I’m very excited that Sexy Darling’s fusion of floral and woody notes is a rich, sophisticated fragrance that truly lives up to its name.”

The elegant, gracefully rounded Sexy Darling bottle will be a stylish, must-have addition to any dressing table. Deep red and black in colour and emblazoned with a silver Sexy Darling logo, it’s as sensual and enticing as the fragrance inside. The packaging echoes the bottle with its deep red box, glittering holographic effect logo and Kylie’s trademark ‘K’ in a black lace pattern that evokes her seductive glamour.

William Baker - Kylie’s celebrated stylist and creative director - photographed the print advertisement for Sexy Darling, creating a striking image that encapsulates Kylie’s sensual beauty. The visual depicts Kylie’s playful and seductive beauty.

Music promoter and chairman of Frontier Touring, Michael Gudinski, said he hopes Kylie will play for Australian audiences in December this year, following the completion of her 53-date European tour in August.

“If everything can work out there’s every possibility we will do some dates later this year,” Gudinski said.

“How many dates we can do, and how many cities we do, and that stuff, will have to be worked out - it’s an absolutely gigantic production, it really is like taking theatre on the road.

“But from Frontier’s point of view, I’m going to make every effort possible to make sure it happens.”

The 21-nation KylieX2008 tour has received rave reviews in the UK and Europe.

London newspaper The Independent this week called Kylie a “pop genius” and said: “Pop is the highest of the arts because it encompasses all the others … (and Kylie) is the ultimate practitioner of this ultimate discipline … (and) on the issue of her supremacy, I won’t give an inch.”

Gudinski, who signed Kylie to his record label Mushroom Records in 1987 after hearing her debut single Locomotion, said he tried to discuss bringing the KylieX2008 tour to Australia during her 40th birthday celebrations in May.

She and her management were not willing to consider it then, he said.

“Today was the first time that we’ve ever had any real discussion about whether it could happen, and we had a good talk today,” Gudinski said.

“She would really like it to come to Australia … and I just think it would be absolutely unfair to her Australian fans not to see what is the most amazing production I’ve seen.

“Australia is her home country and she should be so proud of what she’s doing.”

Kylie got a taste of home last night, meeting fellow Aussies Molly Meldrum, RocKwiz host Julia Zemiro and radio personality Jonathan Coleman backstage before the third show of a six-night run in Manchester.

Dressed down in harem pants, sandals and a singlet, Minogue looked relaxed and happy as she chatted about the latest AFL results and being awarded an OBE at Buckingham Palace.

“It was such a unique experience,” Kylie said of receiving the Order of the British Empire from Prince Charles on July 4.

Kylie says the way for a man to win her over is to be good in the kitchen. “I’m good at running around the kitchen posing and looking pretty, but I’m afraid I’m a useless cook. It’s just something I have never done. It’s one thing a man has to be able to do. If he can cook, then he’s off to a good start with me,” she said.

More than 12.2 million Britons tuned in to see Kylie in action on UK TV last December – making it the most-watched episode in the series’ history.

The dramatic episode featuring Kylie was hailed as the greatest Dr Who episode of all time.

She glamorous waitress Astrid Peth on the doomed intergalactic ship similar to the Titanic in the one-off episode titled Voyage of the Damned.

The movie-length episode will air on the ABC on Sunday at 7.30pm.

During the 70-minute episode, Kylie locks lips with the time-travelling doctor, played by David Tennant, before a surprise ending that at the time was one of the TV industry’s best-kept plot secrets.

Kylie 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,” she told The Radio Times late last year.

“Perhaps that’s like me when younger, but I had opportunities, and she’s still struggling.

“Dr Who goes back to my roots as an actress.”

Kylie will be awarded her OBE from the Queen during a glitzy ceremony at Buckingham Palace next week. She found out in December that she was to receive the prestigious honour for her services to the music industry.

A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman confirmed Kylie will be presented with her OBE at Buckingham Palace on Thursday.

However she will miss out on meeting the Queen, who will be in Edinburgh for the Scottish cultural event known as Holyrood week.

Kylie is instead expected to be presented with her OBE by Prince Charles and she is expected to be among a group of about 100 people who will be presented with various honours in Buckingham Palace’s grand ballroom.

When the Queen’s New Year honours were announced in late December, Kylie was holidaying with her family in her home town of Melbourne.

At the time, she said she was “deeply touched” to receive an OBE from the country she calls her adopted home.

“I am almost as surprised as I am honoured to be awarded an OBE by Her Majesty the Queen,” Kylie said.

“I feel deeply touched to be acknowledged by the UK, my adopted home, in this way.

“This last year I have felt so much love and support from everyone as I took greater steps back into the public domain, and it is with absolute gratitude and joy that I say farewell to 2007 and look forward to what the New Year will bring.”

Kylie’s OBE caps off more than two decades of massive success for her.

She went on to enjoy massive success in Britain, where she teamed up with hit producers Stock, Aitken and Waterman.

Since then she has released nine studio albums and sold out six world tours.

Kylie kicked off the UK leg of her X2008 tour in Belfast yesterday.

She is yet to announce tour dates for Australia.
