Neighbours Kylie and Jason reunited
Former lovers Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan are being reunited on the small screen. The ex-Neighbours heartthrobs will perform a sketch together for The Kylie Show on ITV1. TV viewers will see Donovan send himself up and pretend not to know who the pop princess he once dated is. Their appearance together takes place 20 years after their on-screen Neighbours wedding was one of TV's biggest events. The marriage of tomboy mechanic Charlene Mitchell and boy-next-door Scott Robinson was broadcast in Australia in 1987 and a year later in the UK. But Minogue left Donovan devastated when she ended the relationship in 1990 and began her affair with INXS star Michael Hutchence. Minogue went on to become a huge star, shedding her squeaky clean image, while Donovan's pop and musical career collapsed and he turned to drugs. Donovan, 39, now a father-of-two, made a comeback after appearing in last year's series of I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! In Saturday night's ITV show, Donovan thinks Minogue is a fan who wants his autograph. He signs her script before Minogue, 39, reminds him of their Neighbours history and that they dated for years in real life. The Kylie Show, in which Minogue also performs on a bucking bronco, is broadcast at 9.35pm on Saturday night on ITV1.
