Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan have announced they are re-releasing their iconic single Especially For You ahead of their return to Neighbours.

The pair will be releasing a limited number of their number one hit on vinyl and cassette on August 5.

The song was originally issued in the late 80s and made it to the top of the UK charts. The re-release of the single follows their reunion on the set of Neighbours ahead of the soap's upcoming finale which will air on July 28.

Kylie and Jason, both 54, will reprise their roles of Charlene and Scott Robinson as the iconic soap comes to an end.

Jason shared the same picture on Instagram, writing: "If dreams were wings … Especially for You 2022 @kylieminogue."

He also shared a video from his younger years in which he said: "Working with Kylie on Especially for You was great fun."

Many fans commented on the posts saying they still had their original records, with one adding she "couldn't get rid of it."

Especially For You was first released in November 1988, weeks after their Neighbours characters married in a special wedding episode which attracted almost 20 million UK viewers.

Jason recently revealed the final episode of Neighbours was going to be "emotional" and said he understands expectations are high.

Appearing on The One Show, Jason said: "I'm not going to give too much away about the episode, but I can tell you it's going to happen, in what capacity, you are going to have to switch over to Channel 5 and watch.

Host Rylan Clark pressed Jason for more information and asked if the final scene would involve him and Kylie arriving on Ramsay Street and announcing: "We're home!"

Jason was clearly under strict orders not to reveal anything, but suggested Rylan "could be close".

He added: "It was emotional but it's filming and you know, it moves on. You'll have to wait and see.

"I hope people are not... What I do hope is that expectations aren't too big."

Neighbours began in 1985 and it was confirmed earlier this year that it was being brought to an end after almost 9,000 episodes.
