Kylie and her racy outfits set to take UK by storm as tour continues

It's been a month since her tour began, but Kylie Minogue has shown no sign of slowing down.

The pop singer wowed the crowd in Berlin on Sunday as she took to the stage - with no less than eight outfit changes.

Kylie is set to perform in the UK in July, concluding with a six night stint at London's O2 Arena in August.

The star, who turned 40 last month, opened her show with her track Speakerphone from her album X, suspended above the stage in a full length spider-inspired gown amid a web of wires in a hoop.

As well as performing her past hits, including Step Back In Time, she also roused the crowd with her own version of the Barry Manilow classic Copacabana.

Kylie clocked up an impressive nine costumes changes during the extravagant performance.

All of the outrageous confections were specially designed by Jean Paul Gaultier.

At one point, she descended from the roof draped across a giant black skull.

The show has cost over £10 million to stage and includes 53 dates across Europe.

Ex-boyfriend Olivier Martinez's presence in Paris sparked rumours of a reconciliation between the pair, who have occasionally spent time together in recent months after ending a year of silence.

They split in February last year, following rumours that he had been unfaithful. They dated for four years and 39-year-old Miss Minogue had treatment for breast cancer in Paris rather than in Australia to be with him.
