Kylie Minogue's lingerie range has been dropped by major stores in her native Australia.

Sales of 'Love Kylie' bras and knickers have fallen so low that upmarket shop 'Myer' and boutique chain 'Bras N' Things' have removed them from their stores.

Pop star Kylie launched the range, which she designed herself, in 2004.

In Australia, sales of the underwear rose when she was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, but decreased as she recovered.

A source said: "It's a blow on top of news that her comeback concerts are far from sold out. It's like her own country is losing interest in her."

Kylie was treated for her breast cancer in France, where she remained during her recovery period with her French actor boyfriend Olivier Martinez.

The 'Spinning Around' singer's cancer is now in remission and she is due to return to the stage with her 'Showgirl' world tour, which recommences Down Under, in December this year.

I would imagine that underwear sales have not truly been the very most important thing in Ms. Minogue's life of late: yes, she is used to an extraordinary amount of attention and success. But as a cancer survivor myself, I can tell you that once you have heard that diagnosis--the worst day of your life truly--everything changes, and only life matters. I listened to her interview with Cat Deeley on BBC America, and I can tell you that this is not someone who didn't suffer what I and millions of others suffer through. The fear, the pain, the possibility of early death, the fear of the future, all of that I saw in this woman. In the end, we are all equal, because we all have some kind of tragedy, illness, heartbreak, awful disease, etc. No one gets out of that or gets off this planet alive. Truly.
