Kylie Minogue

In this edition, we visit a big, new exhibition which has just opened in London's Victoria and Albert Museum. It's entirely dedicated to Kylie Minogue, the Australian pop singer and international icon.

The crowds are flocking to see this exhibition of Kylie Minogue's costumes - it includes a pair of gold hot pants that Kylie is famous for wearing! William Baker meets us at the exhibition - he's been Kylie's stylist for 10 years and he talks about looking after Kylie's image.
