    Kylie Minogue celebrated the New Year with a romantic snowboarding holiday with her Spanish toyboy.

    The 40-year-old singer and her new lover, 30-year-old model Andres Velencoso Segura, spent the first few days of January in a ￡10,000 a week chalet in Chamonix in the French Alps.

    A source said: "Andres had never been snowboarding before but Kylie loves it. It shows how much he is into her that he was prepared to give it a go. She paid for an instructor for him and they had a great time."

    The couple have been oblivious to onlookers as they have canoodled and giggled on the slopes and in the local bars and restaurants.

    The source added to Britain's The Sun newspaper: "They looked like a loved-up couple in the bars in the evening. They both looked so happy. It was great to see."

    On New Year's Eve the pair dined at a Chamonix restaurant before dancing at local bar No Escape, where they were seen kissing.

    Another source said: "They were happily celebrating with friends and locals but enjoyed a few tender private moments too."

    The pair were first photographed together at a party in Paris in October, but Kylie - who split with French actor Olivier Martinez in 2007 - insisted they weren't dating.
