MUSIC MEGASTAR Kylie Minogue has revealed that it was Conor McGregor who asked her for a photo in Cannes last month.
The 53-year-old and UFC fighter set tongues wagging when they were snapped hugging in the south of France.
Now the princess of pop has lifted the lid on the story behind the pictures at the Elvis world premiere.
And she confirmed on Late Night with Seth Meyers that it was in fact the Notorious, whose stunning partner Dee Devlin also got in on the action, who asked her to pose with him.
Meyers asked: “Conor McGregor asked for the photo with you, correct?”
Minogue confirmed that was true, but admitted: “But given a minute, I might have asked."

The pair of them looked to be long-lost pals as they shared pleasantries at the Cannes Film Festival.
The Irishman, 33, shared a snap of them together on Instagram and wrote: “With the most beautiful, iconic Kylie Minogue.”

McGregor is currently on a two-fight skid following back-to-back defeats to former interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier.
He snapped his left leg in his rubber match with The Diamond last July but appears to be on course to return to the octagon later this year.
McGregor has set his sights on a summer return, but UFC president Dana White expects him to be back in action in the autumn at the earliest.
