Since sporting the gold hotpants, which her stylist famously picked up for 50p in a charity shop, in her 2000 Spinning Around video, Kylie Minogue has well and truly cemented her status as having the celebrity world’s best bottom.

But speaking previously about the attention her behind attracts, Kylie Minogue mused: “I don’t know how it happened. Okay, so yes, I put them in gold hot pants, but really I don’t know.”

Kylie Minogue is currently on holiday in Portofino, Italy, and was seen out on Wednesday looking stunning in a red and white striped T-shirt and black pencil skirt.
