Kylie and Jason back together

Kylie - Reunited with Donovan
Kylie - Reunited with Donovan

Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan are being reunited on the small screen 20 years after their on-screen ‘Neighbours’ wedding was one of TV's biggest events.

The former lovers 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.

It is now two decades since the marriage of tomboy mechanic Charlene Mitchell (Minogue) and boy-next-door Scott Robinson (Donovan) was broadcast in 1987.

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.

39-year-old Donovan, 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.

Minogue quit ‘Neighbours’ in 1988, before Donovan followed.

Their 1988 duet together, ‘Especially For You’, became a huge hit and went straight to Number One in the UK pop charts.

‘The Kylie Show’, in which Minogue also performs on a bucking bronco, is broadcast at 9.35pm on Saturday night on ITV1.
