I am having a party, which is pretty out of character for me, she said. I usually shun that kind of stuff. With 50 and things just feeling good and right… Ive found myself again and feel comfortable with who I am.

She added: It feels less like just a party, it is a little bit of a snapshot, like a photo album of parts of my life.

Jason Donovans name was top of the guest list, whom Kylie dated and left broken-hearted after they met on the set of Neighbours in 1986.

They dated for three years before she left him for INXS star Michael Hutchence.

Jason later admitted in 2016 that the split was a pretty big punch to take.

It was an extremely painful parting of the ways and, without doubt, I took a long time to recover from it, Jason told The Mirror. Years definitely.

It was bad enough that shed run off with anybody, but she happened to run into the arms of the greatest rock god of the period, the very guy who I secretly wanted to be. That was a pretty big punch to take.

Kylie has been marking the lead up to her birthday with a rummage through her old photo albums, digging up some stunning snaps from each decade of her life.

Although the most grabbing one was her latest, posing in her birthday suit to mark the big day.

And so a new decade begins. How thankful I am for the opportunities life has afforded me. 50….. Let's go! pic.twitter.com/piZy3FMtHu
