Kylie Minogue has been given the all-clear from breast cancer, it has been reported.

The sexy singer was said to be "utterly, unbelievably overjoyed" to have won her battle with the disease, which she was diagnosed with last May.

The pop babe jetted home to Australia to celebrate with her family after Paris doctors gave her the happy news a week ago.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Kylie was desperate to see her family. She just wanted to hug them all and tell them it was going to be OK.

"She is thrilled and relieved. It's been a tough few months and there have been times when she felt very weak and down."

Kylie is also starting to grow back her blonde hair, which she lost during gruelling chemotherapy treatment.

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "She has put on a bit of weight on and has been feeling confident about the future. Her hair is even beginning to grow back."

The 37-year-old beauty will now start daily radiation treatment to make sure cancerous cells don't return. If the results remain negative for six months, she will officially be in remission.
