Holly Valance Related To Benny Hill

Soap Shares The Goss
From The Herald Sun

Holly ValanceDid you know that former Neighbours star Holly Valance is related to the late British comedy legend Benny Hill?

Or that Stephanie McIntosh, who plays Sky in the long-running Aussie soapie, is the half-sister of former Neighbours star Jason Donovan?

They're just a couple of facts in Neighbours: The Official Book, which has been inspired by the 20th anniversary of the internationally successful home-grown drama.

The 224-page book features all the favourite characters with exclusive behind-the-scenes pictures exploring the great and tragic moments from the past 20 years.

It also follows an episode of Neighbours through the production process, and explains how the show became a huge success overseas and launched the careers of actors

Kylie Minogue, Delta Goodrem, Kimberley Davies, Peter O'Brien and Donovan.

Plenty has been written about the show's all-time favourite couple, played by Minogue and Donovan.

Donovan first appeared in 1985, taking over from Darius Perkins in the role of Scott Robinson. Minogue joined a year later as Charlene.

Scott and Charlene became TV's Romeo and Juliet.

There was incredible media interest in the on-screen romance played by Minogue and Donovan, and there's no question ratings were boosted by speculation the actors had forged a real-life romance.

But it was only after the pair left the show that Donovan opened his heart about their off-screen romance and how it finally ended.
