Bum deal for Kylie fans

Kylie Minogue fans are in mourning today after the pop princess announced she was going to keep her bum covered-up in the future.

Kylie's bottom has become something of an institution after her smash hit video for Spinning Around featured her perfect derriere in a pair of spangly hotpants.

The 35-year-old, who is currently dating French actor Olivier Martinez, was speaking at a launch party for her new album Body Language.

She said she wasn't bothered about losing out to bare-all babes Britney and Christina.

'There's always competition and it doesn't worry me. They are free to strip down if they want. I'm a 35-year-old woman. I kept everything covered in my video. It's quite tame compared to music TV nowadays', she said in today's Sun newspaper.

Kylie's new album Body Language is released on November 17
