Minogue celebrates weight gain

Kylie Minogue has revealed that she is happy with the weight that she has gained since undergoing chemotherapy.

The popstar, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, insisted that she feels better being heavier as she believed she was "too skinny" before the treatment.

"It was difficult but I think my body in many ways is better for having weight on it. When I look back at some pictures, I just think, 'That's too thin, that doesn't look good'. Now everything's changed. It's coming back to normal - whatever normal is. New normal," she explained.

The singer topped the UK album charts recently with 'Aphrodite'. The album is her fifth UK number one - twenty-two years after her debut 'Kylie! The Album' came out.
