Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan will reunite for a ‘Neighbours’-themed special on BBC Radio 2.
Hosted by Scott Mills, the pair – who played Charlene Mitchell and Scott Robinson on the show – will be joined by her onscreen mum Madge aka Anne Charleston and her ex Harold, played by Anne Charleston.
“Excited to tell I will be reuniting the Ramsay House – Madge, Harold, Scott AND Charlene,” tweeted Scott.

“Hear them chat together for the first time in over THIRTY YEARS.”
The show will air 2 pm BST on Monday, August 30 on Radio 2 and BBC Sounds.
Scott added: “You CANNOT miss this.”
Kylie and Jason, who were famously a couple on- and off-screen, last got together on stage for her show at Hyde Park in 2018.
Asked about the possibility of a musical reunion down the line, Jason – who will hit the road with his ‘Even More Good Reasons’ Tour later this year, admitted he’d “never say never”.
Of the success of their duet Especially for You, he added: “It’s such an iconic moment, probably more so than Scott and Charlene, our characters in the show, because it lived on through radio and video
“You don’t necessarily see our episodes repeated but the song does pop up a lot. All I can say is I’m so lucky. I genuinely pinch myself and go, ‘Wow’.
“It was such a big thing for many people, including myself, to have made that mark, and a soundtrack to people’s lives.”
