Kylie Minogue has announced that she is moving back to her homeland of Australia.

The singer and former “Neighbours” star has lived in the UK for 30 years and whilst she is going back to Australia, Minogue says she will “always” visit Britain regularly.

Speaking to Zoe Ball on BBC Radio 2, Minogue said she “couldn’t believe” the public’s reaction to her decision to leave the UK.

She added: “I’ve had friends call me, my friend at my local restaurant was like: ‘Kylie, what do you mean? You can’t go’. I said: ‘I’m not really going. I’ve lived here for 30 years, I’m always going to be back.’”

Minogue also revealed that she had spent a lot of time in Australia recently and that it “felt really good” to be back home.

She concluded by reassuring fans that she will “not be a stranger”.

But that didn’t stop fans taking to social media to vocalise their shock and disappointment at the decision. Many fans compared it to the shock Brexit referendum result of 2016 where Britain voted to leave the EU.

Another fan joked: “I know we want this trade deal with Australia but letting them have Kylie back is a step too far.”

A Twitter user also said: “If Kylie goes back to Australia, we riot.”
