Kylie to launch 'big knickers' line

Tiny Oz singer Kylie Minogue has had such success with her Love Kylie lingerie line she plans to expand her business by designing a range of “big knickers”.

The sexy songbird, who relaunched her career by regularly showing off her shapely bottom, now says she plans to keep her body covered. She also thinks the trend for skimpy thongs is over.

She explains: "Big knickers are back. Women want comfort again - and I don't mean the sort of underwear our grandmothers wore.

"It'll be more French and sexy. The thong is gone."
