Victoria Jones is The One and Only... Kylie Minogue
25 years old

Click here to see Victoria's VT from the first live show.

Victoria has always been a Kylie fan and is a natural born showgirl. As a child, her mum would curl her hair so she could look just like the princess of pop and by the time she was 15-years-old Victoria was performing Kylie tracks on stage in a cabaret act.

She constantly wowed her audiences with her physical and vocal similarities to Kylie and by the age of 19 she was performing as Kylie at holiday parks around the country. Her all-singing, all-dancing Kylie tribute act includes a performance of Better The Devil You Know dressed in those famous hot-pants.

However, despite her performing background, it was only when Victoria was involved in a car accident last year that she decided to totally follow her dream. She reveals that the accident made her re-evaluate her life and helped her realise that she should pursue her passions, one of which is to be the greatest Kylie tribute act.

When asked what she would do if she ever got to perform with Kylie, Victoria proves that she is a serious fan of her Musical Superstar.

‘Oh my God, if I got to perform with her that would be completely amazing!’ she squeals. ‘It would be a dream come true. Just to meet her let alone perform with her. I’d do anything just to perform with her!’

Victoria is highly competitive and is determined to win The One and Only…

Victoria’s boyfriend John is also an actor/singer - they met when they were performing together.

Her favourite Kylie song is Better The Devil You Know.

Kylie Minogue

Pop princess Kylie Minogue began her musical career whilst still playing tomboy car mechanic Charlene in the popular Australian soap ‘Neighbours’ in 1987.

Her first single, ‘I Should Be So Lucky’, was the UK’s biggest hit of 1988 and gave Kylie her first top 40 hit in the US.

The album ‘Kylie’ reached the number one position both in the UK and Australia, and gave Kylie several chart-topping singles. Never before had an artist reached such chart heights in both countries. Following that album, Kylie had 13 successive Top 10 entries and has enjoyed the longest span of UK Number One singles of any female solo artist. Her single ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’ is her best-selling to date, having spent a massive 25 weeks in the UK charts alone.

With twenty-nine top 10 singles, Kylie is the second most successful woman in the British singles charts after Madonna. Following her recent recovery from breast cancer, Kylie is back to her best and is performing again. The fact that tickets for her 2008 UK dates sold out in 30 minutes is a testament to her popularity.

UK Number Ones: Seven

Best Known Track: Her 2000 hit ‘Spinning Around’, in which she wears those gold hotpants (as found by her stylist in a charity shop!)

Renowned for: Dating lead singer Michael Hutchence of 'INXS' and actor Olivier Martinez.

Did You Know: Kylie won a Grammy in 2004 for ‘Come Into My World’. The award winner also has a welsh heritage as her mum is from Wales.
