It has cost him more than £10,000 and taken him all over the world in pursuit of the dream.

But after seeing Kylie Minogue live 50 times in venues from Australia to America, Robert Ince finally got to meet the pint-sized pop diva in the flesh at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow - and he's got the selfie to prove it.

The 42-year-old, from Conon Bridge in the Highlands, was plucked from the standing audience after the singer spotted his handmade signs stating that last night's show was in fact his 50th.

Robert, who was at the show with a group of friends who also carried signs, said: "Literally the best night ever!," after climbing on stage to get a selfie with Kylie, who joked as the photo was being taken, "The world has changed a lot since I started."

The Glasgow show was Robert's eighth on the Kiss Me Once Tour.

He went to Manchester, attended three London shows before doing the locomotion in Birmingham, Dublin and Belfast.

He admitted that Kylie was inches from him at the airport in Belfast earlier in the week and but he somehow could not pluck up the courage to speak to her.

He said: "I told her when I was on stage, I had seen her at Belfast airport but I could not get the courage to say hello. She said, "I hope this makes up for it."

And it sure did for Robert, who has been a Kylie fan since 1988.

He first saw her in the 90s in Glasgow and since then he has travelled the world to see her joking that his partner Bruce is in fact a professional Kylie widow.

Aside from the Hydro show, Robert's favourite up to that point had been the Showgirl Homecoming tour which he saw in Sydney, Australia.

He said: "That was her first show after she battled breast cancer, so it was extra special for me."

Robert is now thinking ahead to his next Kylie show, and admits he is even tempted to go to Australia next year.

But he has to deal with his own fame first as aside from possibly featuring in a DVD for the show - last night was recorded live - Robert has also picked up his own fans.

He joked, "Everyone was calling me the selfie guy last night outside the Hydro and asking for my photo."
