KYLIE Minogue has revealed how Jason Donovan sealed the deal on their reunion on the final episode of Neighbours.
The pop star said her co-star told her they had to repay the fans who'd stayed with them since they were wannabe stars launching their careers on the soap in 1986.
Kylie and Jason, both 54, are seen returning to Ramsay Street as Charlene and Scott Robinson in the Aussie soap's final scenes shownon Channel 5 tonight.
She said: "Jason and I are connected anyway, but he wrote me a beautiful email, so eloquent and heartfelt about this being a moment for us to acknowledge and say thanks to the fans.
"We are quite a way from going to shopping centre appearances and all the things we used to do."
Kylie also said she never thought either of them would reprise their roles as Charlene and Scott, who famously had 20 million Brits tuning in to see them marry in 1987.

Both actors had left the soap by 1989 to pursue full-time music careers, including duetting on 1988 number one single, Especially for You, when the actors were dating one another.
Meanwhile, their characters were written out of all storylines on the show, which launched down under in 1985 and started airing twice a day in the UK a year later, originally on BBC1.
Kylie said: "The show kept going and moved on. Also, Charlene was such a presence in people’s memory, I wasn’t sure how it would work.
"Neighbours wrapping up has put a completely different spin on all of it – it opened the door for this to happen. I didn’t really see it happening but now it has, it feels good.
