Kylie for 'Doctor Who' Christmas Special?

The News of the World claims that the Australian singer has met the show’s executive producer and Russell T Davies ahead of filming in July. An insider is quoted as saying: "She is flattered to be asked to be in such a classic TV show. The Doctor Who team are delighted they've got someone as sexy and high profile as Kylie to ensure they win the annual ratings battle with ITV."
Minogue, allegedly due to play a ‘sexy Cyberwoman’, already has ties to the science fiction show. During her recent ‘Showgirl’ tour, dancers wore costumes that closely resembled Cybermen and snippets of dialogue from last year’s Cybermen episode ‘The Age of Steel’ episode were played between songs. The former Neighbours star’s stylist Will Baker is believed to be a big Doctor Who fan and the driving influence behind the rumoured appearance.
The BBC was unable to confirm the news, telling Digital Spy today that "the scripts have yet to be written for Christmas or next season so it is impossible to discuss casting at the moment".
