He was one half of one of the most iconic couples of the 1980s when he got together with Kylie Minogue, having starred as her husband, Scott, on Neighbours, and jointly released the hit single Especially for You.
And Jason Donovan now says he ‘couldn’t be more proud’ of his eldest daughter, Jemma, as she followed in his footsteps and joined the cast of the Aussie soap in 2019 as Harlow Robinson – who also happens to be the great-niece of Scott (talk about keeping it in the family!).
The 52-year-old actor tells us, ‘I was delighted for her when she got the role. She’s a 20-year-old kid, she’s got a regular job, and she’s living in Australia, which is a wonderful country to be in.
‘She’s proven herself to be not only talented in her acting, but she’s shown me her strong mindset and values, and her passion to get to where she is.’
So, with Neighbours being such a family affair for Jason, would he return to the show that made him famous?
