Kylie Minogue has resigned from her role as the face of a children's charity, after the organisation was hit by a series of financial scandals.

The Australian superstar, 36, and her father Ron have quit from telephone counselling service Boystown, which has struggled to recover from monetary crises - including a fraud investigation into former chief executive Br Paul Smith.

A source says: "This is a massive blow, especially after all the work Kylie's done. The Minogues certainly weren't happy to be associated with all this scandal."

The organisation, which is run by a Catholic charity, receives around 500,000 calls from confused youngsters each year.
