Kylie Minogue Send Well Wishes to E. Coli Cousin  10/6/05

Cancer victim Kylie Minogue has sent her best wishes to her nine-year-old cousin, who has contracted food poisoning superbug E.coli.

The pop queen, who is currently battling breast cancer, sent a get well message to Liam Riddiford who was discharged from hospital in his native Wales for a second time yesterday (05OCT05).

The I Should Be So Lucky singer is related to the boy through her grandmother, who was the first cousin of his grandfather.

A spokesperson for the Australian star says, "She wishes Liam and everyone affected the very best."

The food poisoning outbreak has already killed a five-year-old boy and infected 157 other people, many of them children.
