KYLIE Minogue said she was ready to party all night long after The Brits – and she was true to her word.
The Australian pop star, who was named as the Brits’ Global Icon, spoke exclusively to The Sun backstage after her big moment and said she was planning on pulling an all-nighter to celebrate.
Kylie, 55, said: “I said before I am the last one standing and I wouldn’t like to not live up to that reputation.
“I love a party.
“I don’t really have a gap in my schedule right now where I can fully let my hair down, like none.
“My schedule for the next few months is going off.”

And party she did, with Kylie putting the other performers and winners to shame as she stayed out until just before 3am.
Opening up about bagging the coveted Icon gong, previously handed to stars including Taylor Swift and Pink, Kylie added: “Tonight is a huge landmark for me, just like Glastonbury was and when I first heard my song on radio in 1997.
“That will always be special.
“This award isn’t leaving me tonight but I actually have them all over.

“I have a home office with my awards but some of them are at my parents’ house.
“They are kind of dotted all over.
“I might have to do a tally now.”
As well as knocking back her own bottles of Kylie wine during the ceremony, the Spinning Around singer even had a load sent over to Warner’s after party in the Nomad Hotel.
Kylie spent the night in a private room where she invited big winner Raye, who picked up six awards, to join her.
Backstage at the O2 the pair had a sweet moment together, with Raye inviting Kylie to her own private after party at the Standard hotel.
Raye told Kylie: “Babe, I am going to dance my life away.
“Your name is on the list so if you can we would love you to be at my party tonight.
“Thank you so much for all your positive thoughts and affirmations.
“It means so much.

“It’s an honour to meet you.”
Raye, who took her family to the ceremony including her nan who came up on stage when she won Album of the Year, partied hard until the early hours yesterday and was seen leaving her party in a pair of hotel slippers.
