Kylie Minogue has scored her biggest solo hit in more than a decade with the infectious dance anthem Padam Padam.

It's the stars first song to break into the UK top 10 since All The Lovers peaked at number three in 2010.

That means Kylie is one of only four women to reach the UK's top 10 in five separate decades, alongside Cher, Lulu and Diana Ross.

The singer said the success of the song, which has gone viral on TikTok, had "really taken us all by surprise".

"I can't even, I can't even, full stop!" she told Zoe Ball on the Radio 2 Breakfast Show earlier this week. "We loved it as a team, but the way that it's taken off is way beyond me."
