Pop star Kylie Minogue stunned performers with a surprise visit to the rehearsals of the I Should Be So Lucky musical this week.

The show, which will premiere at Manchester Opera House next month, is named after the single that launched Kylie's music career back in 1987.

Kylie spent two days on set watching the cast be put through their paces.

During her visit, the Australian pop veteran, 55, also recorded her role for the show as she will digitally appear as a "specially created character" throughout.

The show will open in Manchester on 2 November and run until 25 November, before embarking on a UK tour.
