Kylie went on to describe how humbled she was to be asked to headline the event, proclaiming her shock at how quickly those 25 years have gone by: "I think people were expecting me to be a one-hit wonder..."

Her Proms concert is likely to recreate new, orchestral arrangements of her hits which were recorded in London's Abbey Road Studios last year...

Kylie said: "I'm delighted to be performing at one of the UK's most outstanding nights of the musical calendar."

"To sing in front of thousands of people whilst being accompanied by the legendary BBC Concert Orchestra in such a special year is truly a dream come true."

Sir Terry Wogan will host the evening, with performances from the likes of English tenor Alfie Boe and the London Community Gospel Choir, Il Divo, Björn Again and The Chicago Blues Brothers.
