Kylie's elephant ride

Kylie Minogue has made a surprise visit Sri Lankan theatre troop and ended up on the back of an elephant.

The theatre troop was formed in the aftermath of the Tsunami by English director and producer Toby Gough.

Kylie is a patron of the group, Children of the Sea, but has never seen the group perform due to her breast cancer treatment.

Kylie said she was happy to meet the youngsters. "Their triumph through adversity is inspiring.

"I was so happy to finally meet the children and see the results of Toby's energy and vision," she said.

"Everyone has been so welcoming. I do hope to return one day soon."

She is such a good person, sometimes I can't even deal with it.
