Raunchy Kylie immortalised in wax
Kylie Minogue
This is the third Kylie waxwork
A waxwork of Kylie Minogue has been unveiled at Madame Tussauds in London which whispers sweet nothings into the ears of visitors.

The wax model is the third recreation of the Australian pop star, but is by far the most risque as it shows her posing on all fours.

The waxwork is part of a new exhibition entitled Fever, after her latest album and sell-out tour.

Visitors to the tourist attraction will also have a chance to learn how to pole dance, emulating the raunchy routines Minogue performed during the tour.

A team of dancers will be on hand to put visitors through their paces.

Breathes suggestively

Minogue was first installed at Madame Tussauds 12 years ago while she was still appearing as mechanic Charlene in the Australian TV soap Neighbours.

But because she has successfully reinvented her image so often, the museum has had to update its waxwork of her.

Kylie Minogue has become an enduring pop icon
The new version breathes suggestively and whispers as visitors pass by, and is fitted with her new trendsetting braided hairstyle.

In the past couple of years Minogue's career has taken off again, with the single Can't Get You Out Of My Head rocketing her back to the big time.

She did go through a period of experimenting with a more indie sound, collaborating with Nick Cave and the Manic Street Preachers, before successfully returning to her pop roots.

She walked away with two Brit Awards at the 2002 ceremony in February and was also honoured at the Dance Star Awards - proving she appeals to music fans from many genres.
