Smiley Kylie hits the theatre with her best man

Kylie Minogue is never short of admirers, in fact she's been spotted with an assortment of different fellas on her arm lately, from her stylists and dancers to music producers and film directors.

So it's no surprise some people got a little excited to see her hitting the theatre with a tall, dark stranger.

But the Daily Mail can reveal the man making the poppette look so pleased on a trip to the theatre is her best male friend and creative director, William Baker.

The pair went to the Garrick Theatre at the weekend to watch the Bad Girls musical and waiting photographers got quite excited to see them pull apart with suspicious haste.

But Mr Baker is Kylie's long-time side kick and the two are definitely 'just good friends'.

The singer also revealed that she hasn't been watching her little sis Dannii on X Factor because her Sky box is broken.

Mmm... sounds like a convenient excuse. Kylie is in talks to appear as a guest on the ITV show so perhaps she should start watching more diligently, or she could face the wrath of serpent-tongued Simon Cowell.
