Speaking about his relationship with the Spinning Around hitmaker, the Burn It star said: ‘I’ve known Kylie for a good few years now… her best friend is from Manchester and that’s how I met her… about 20 years ago now.’

Making sure to show his support for the songstress, Antony added: ‘It’s very fitting actually because Kylie is releasing her first new music in quite a while on Friday.’

Shortly before the lavish celebration, Kylie discussed her party arrangements – revealing that she is not used to ‘big parties’.

She told Fun Radio: ‘That is the plan and it’s really out of character for me. I don’t do big parties.’

‘I don’t want to commit to the party, but I think this year I’m going to do it. I think I’ll have a big party in London.’ 

Kylie has been celebrating a lot of success these past months, as the Australian beauty’s new record Golden is currently soaring up the charts.

The album – which will be her first chart-topper since 2010’s Aphrodite – is winning the battle against Thirty Seconds To Mars’ America, the Official Charts Company has confirmed.
