Kylie Minogue says she hopes she does not have to wait too long to marry her British fiancé – as she surprised diners by dancing on furniture during a performance at The Ivy.

The 48-year-old star became engaged to actor Joshua Sasse, 28, in February after a whirlwind romance.

But same-sex couples aren’t allowed to wed in her native Australia and the couple have revealed they don’t feel “comfortable” getting married until the law has changed.

She told the Standard: “Hopefully we won’t have to wait too long.”

Kylie was speaking after she gave an acoustic performance at The Ivy to mark the restaurant’s centenary year of celebrations.

The singer walked among VIP diners and climbed onto the tables during sultry versions of her hits including Wow, Can’t Get You Out Of My Head, Spinning Around and Love At First Sight, as well as Santa Baby and Let It Snow.

Guests included Elizabeth Hurley, Ronnie Wood, Kristen Scott Thomas, Jade Jagger, Woody Harrelson, Luke Evans and Alan Carr.
