Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan 'reuniting again for Ghosts sketch'
The pair will reportedly appear in a Comic Relief sketch for the hit comedy series.
Following on from their reunion in the Neighbours finale last year, it has been reported that Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan are about to work together once again.
The Sun has reported that Minogue and Donovan will next be seen together in a Ghosts Comic Relief sketch, and that they have already shot the segment.
An insider reportedly told the publication: "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."
This wouldn't be the first time Minogue has been linked with Ghosts. She was previously due to appear in a sketch for last year's Red Nose Day, but had to pull out as she was recovering from COVID.
When approached by RadioTimes.com the BBC has confirmed a Ghosts sketch will air on Friday 17th March as part of the Red Nose Day telecast, but has said further details will be announced in due course.
