In March, producers of one of Australia's longest-running TV series announced the show was coming to an end after 37 years. To mark the end, they have managed to organise a special appearance from two former stars.

Executive producer Jason Herbison announced on Twitter that Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan will star in the finale of Australian soap Neighbours.

"Scott and Charlene are the ultimate Neighbours couple and it would not feel right to end the show without them," he wrote.

"We are thrilled that Jason and Kylie have come home to play a very special part in our series finale."

Minogue and Donovan were a favourite with viewers before their departure in the 1980s, and will return to the show before it ceases production in June.

The decision to bring the curtain down on the show came after the producers, Fremantle Media, were unable to secure a replacement broadcaster after Britain's Channel 5 axed the show from its line-up in February, the ABC reports.

The final episodes are expected to be shown by September.
