The 47-year-old singer has turned to producers Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman - who launched her pop career in the late 1980s - for help on her track 'Every Day's Like Christmas', bringing the trio back together for the first time in almost 25 years.

Pete said: "The three of us have not done a single for 25 years. We have never fallen out but there was never a purpose where we thought it was worth working together.

"I told the others this is what Kylie wants and they said, 'Let's do it -- return at the top'."

According to the former 'Pop Idol' judge, Kylie approached the trio to work on the track - which was written by Coldplay's Chris Martin - because she and her record company wanted it to be "dead retro" with "nothing modern".

He told The Sun newspaper: "It's a strange question when someone asks, 'Can you step back in time and make a record you would have made in 1988?' But of course we can, and Kylie loved it.

"I did worry about tampering with a Chris Martin song in any way. I wasn't sure Chris Martin and Stock Aitken Waterman would be easy bedfellows but he said it was fine."

And the song could be the start of a full reunion for the producers - who previously also worked with the likes of Jason Donovan, Bananarama, Sinitta and Rick Astley - as they had such a good time.

Pete said: "We enjoyed working together and with modern technology we can do so much more."
