Kylie Minogue stunned staff and shoppers when she popped into a sweet shop in a tiny Scottish village today
Kylie Minogue stunned staff when she popped into a sweet shop in a tiny Scottish village today.
The Aussie singing sensation was pictured at Dee Valley Confectioners in Ballater, Aberdeenshire.
She was in the area to watch a local pipe band. She parked her Land Rover and walked in with two friends.
But the 48-year-old did not go for the Lucky, lucky Tatties or sample two foam hearts but instead opted for a packet of dolly mixture and a bag of soor plooms.
Wendy Anderson, who has worked at Dee Valley Confectioners for 30 years, kept having to double-take as she couldn't get out of her head who she thought had walked into the store.
Ms Anderson said: 'I kept looking at her thinking 'I know who that is', I asked her where she was from and eventually I had to ask if she was who I thought she was.
'I knew who she was but I didn't want to be ignorant and just blurt it out.
'She spent a good 10-15 minutes in the shop and was very polite and talkative.
'She was speaking about the village and Prince Charles' restaurant.'
'Unfortunately she didn't go for the lucky, lucky tatties but she seemed very happy with the boiled sweets that she bought.
'It's not every day that a star like that walks in though. I was a fan when I was younger, she was my era.
'On one occasion Eric Idle, Robin Williams and Steve Martin were all in the shop at the same time.'

It's not the first time Kylie has visited the North-east of Scotland in recent years.
In 2009, she attended a friend's wedding at Drumtochty Castle in Auchenblae, Aberdeenshire.
She was a guest at the wedding of Kevin Main and her pal Alison McGregor.
She flew into Aberdeen for the big day, before jetting to London to meet her sister Danni after the event.
