Comic Relief: Kylie Minogue pulls out of Red Nose Day TV show due to Covid

Singing sensation Kylie Minogue has become the latest celebrity to pull out of the Comic Relief live TV show just one day before the fundraising event airs. She announced to her 2.1 million fans on Twitter she has been recovering from Covid-19.

The pop star was supposed to be appearing on BBC One's The Great Comic Relief Prizeathon on Friday, March 18 from 7pm, where she was going to star in a one-off sketch with the cast of the BBC sitcom Ghosts - which stars Charlotte Richie, Matthew Baynton, Lolly Adefope and more.

But Kylie posted on her Twitter on Thursday, March 17 to tell fans she was "so sorry" to not be able to take part but said she will be tuning in from home. Comic Relief retweeted Kylie's post to share with their 239k followers ahead of tomorrow night's TV fundraiser.
