Kylie Minogue is flying to France to be cared for by her lover Olivier Martinez and his doting family.

The sexy singer, who recently had surgery to remove a cancerous lump in her breast, has decided to have her chemotherapy treatment in Paris.

Kylie and her mother, Carol, are jetting to the French capital next month to stay at Olivier's home, which is close to the renowned Institute Gustave-Roussy - the largest cancer treatment centre in Europe.

Oliver's father, Robert Martinez, has revealed the family are eagerly awaiting Kylie's arrival, adding: "We will be so happy to have her here. We all love her so much and want to do everything we can for her.

"Having her in Paris is always wonderful and she will bring so much happiness to everybody. She is treated as one of the family - she will be well looked after."

Robert, who with his wife Rosemarie, have already welcomed Kylie into their home, added in an interview with Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Kylie has been speaking to us regularly and we are so glad she will come and see us here. Olivier has been so worried, he is coping well and giving all his support to Kylie."
