Neighbours fans left baffled by Kylie Minogue's finale appearance as they 'work out' reason behind it

Neighbours fans were delighted earlier this year when the soap's boss confirmed that Kylie Minogue would be returning to say goodbye to the show as it came to an end after 37 years. The pop star's career blossomed after appearing in the Australian soap as Charlene Mitchell.

She and former love interest Jason Donovan played Charlene and Scott Robinson from 1985 until their departures in 1989 and 1988 respectively. Their return to the soap was first announced in May. A statement by soap boss Jason Herbison was shared to Twitter which said: "Scott and Charlene are the ultimate Neighbours couple and it would not feel right to end the show without them. We are thrilled that Jason and Kylie have come home to play a very special part in our series finale…"

Their wedding episode was watched by more than two million Australian viewers when it first aired in 1987, and later pulled in an audience of almost 20 million when it was shown in the UK in 1988. And who can forget their classic duet, 'Especially for You'.
