Pictures from the set showed the pair laughing and embracing, as Minogue wore Charlene’s iconic denim overalls while Donovan sported a teal flannel and dark grey jeans.

Minogue shared the images with her 2.4 million Instagram followers and wrote: “Now we’re back together.”

Can we take a minute to shed an emotional tear for the return of @kylieminogue @JDonOfficial back on @neighbours and just think, “Where did the last 33 years go?”. If only we can pause, rewind, play!!! Yet in true Neighbours style they really have paused, rewind and play!!! ????

Neighbours, which first aired in 1985, follows the lives of a community living in the fictional Melbourne suburb of Erinsborough, shot its final scene early in June.

The show ceased its production after failing to secure new funding since being dropped by its broadcaster earlier this year.

Neighbours executive producer Jason Herbison admitted he did feel the weight of responsibility to craft an ending worthy of such an important part of Australian television.

“Firstly, it’s about wrapping up the storylines and the characters in a satisfying way,” he said.

“And second, it’s what else we might do to make it feel like a worthy ending for a show that’s been going for 37 years.”

However, Herbison has promised that the show’s ending will be “very warm, very celebratory.”
