Britain's public-funded broadcaster said Minogue, 39, would play a "major lead role" alongside Dr Who actor David Tennant.

The hour-long episode, "Voyage of the Damned," will start filming in Cardiff, Wales, in July.

"It is an incredible thrill to be joining David and the entire Dr Who production for this year's Christmas special," said Minogue.

"Dr Who enjoys a unique history and it is going to be very exciting to be a part of that."

Former television soap opera star Minogue returned to the stage last November with a sell out concert in Sydney after recovering from breast cancer.
