Sparkling in her yellow and blue ensemble, the starlet – who battled breast cancer in 2005 - collected the special degree from Anglia Ruskin University in Chelmsford, in recognition for her work promoting breast cancer awareness.
‘I never went to university so my dad will be very proud when he sees the pictures,’ Kylie gushed during a speech to 200 of the University’s graduates.
‘I am here partly for the work I do promoting breast cancer awareness.
‘When you are diagnosed yourself it becomes a lot more real and you appreciate at first hand the hard work that goes on to support patients through it.’
