One of television's most memorable couples will return to the small screen for one last hurrah, with Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan to star in the finale of the much-loved Australian soap Neighbours.
In March, producers of the long-running series announced the show was coming to an end after 37 years.
The show's executive producer Jason Herbison announced the return of Minogue and Donovan's characters, Charlene and Scott, in a message on Twitter.
"Scott and Charlene are the ultimate Neighbours couple and it would not feel right to end the show without them," he wrote.
"We are thrilled that Jason and Kylie have come home to play a very special part in our series finale."
Herbison's post also featured a close-up shot of a cover of a Neighbours script, which Minogue and Donovan also shared on their Instagram accounts.
Minogue and Donovan were a favourite with viewers before their departure in the 1980s, and will return to the show before it ceases production in June.
The show also helped launch the careers of Guy Pearce, Margot Robbie and Liam Hemsworth.
The decision to bring the curtain down on the show came after the producers, Fremantle Media, were unable to secure a replacement broadcaster after Britain's Channel 5 axed the show from its line-up in February.
It is understood the British network contributed towards the majority of the show's production costs.
Neighbours airs on Network Ten in Australia.
A spokesperson from Fremantle Media said the response from fans at the news of the show ending had been immense.
"Everyone at Neighbours has been overwhelmed by the love and support from the audience since the news came out," they said.
"The show has brought a sunny slice of Australia into the homes of millions of viewers around the world, launching the careers of dozens of household names along way.
"But as this chapter of Ramsay Street comes to a close, we promise to do everything we can to give the show the send-off it deserves."
The show is expected to finish airing its final episodes by September 2022.
