Kylie Minogue wants more TV roles

Kylie Minogue is hoping that her role in Doctor Who will help her to relaunch her acting career, according to the show's executive producer Russell T Davies.

The pop star plays a waitress on board the Titanic in this year's Christmas special, Voyage Of The Damned.

Speaking at a celebrity screening of the episode, Davies said that Kylie wants to be offered more TV roles in the New Year.

"She did this because I think that's the way her thoughts are heading," Davies revealed. "She's missed it and fancied that discipline. I'd cast her again like that. You forget that she has been in Neighbours, so she is used to knocking out an episode in a day."
