The former lovers and 'Neighbours' co-stars - who famously played Scott and Charlene on the Australia soap - will make a special appearance in the Comic Relief episode of the hit BBC One sitcom.

An insider told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: “Getting Kylie and Jason back together is a real coup and the results are hilarious.

“The episode is really tongue in cheek and they crack gags about their history and music.

"It was all kept hush-hush on set to keep the secret that they were both reuniting for the show.”

The episode will air during the Comic Relief telethon on March 17.

Kylie and Jason, both 54, reunited for what was thought to be the final episode of 'Neighbours' last summer, and the pop star admitted it was an emotional day of filming.

She shared a number of pictures of herself and Jason in character as Charlene and Scott and wrote: "Yep, there were tears! Congratulations to the @neighbours team for the heart-warming and celebratory finale. You’ll be in my heart always!!! #neighbours @jdonofficial."

Kylie joined the cast of 'Neighbours' in 1986 but left the series in 1988 to embark on a pop career and went on to enjoy decades of chart success with hits such as 'I Should Be So Lucky', and 'Can't Get You out of My Head' and even teamed up with then-boyfriend Jason to release chart-topper 'Especially For You' in 1989, which could be heard playing as the on-screen couple made their return to Ramsay Street in the then-finale.

'Neighbours' initially aired on BBC One from 1986 until 2008 before being shown on Channel 5 and the soap relied on funding from the British network but in February 2022, the broadcaster confirmed they were to focus on UK drama instead.

However, 'Neighbours' was saved by Amazon Freevee, after the premium video-on-demand (VOD) streaming service bought the rights just months after the show came to an end last July after 37 years on screen.
