Amanda Holden has revealed that Kylie Minogue is one of her ‘BFFs’ and that the pop princess called her as she filmed her scenes for her Neighbours debut.
The actress, 51, is set to star in the popular soap this month as an aunt to Jason Donovan’s real-life daughter Jemma, who plays Harlow Robinson.
Speaking to The Mirror, she revealed that the singer, 53, rang her up to give her some support on set.

She told the publication: ‘Kylie rang me while I was on set to say, “Hi, what’s it like? How’s it going?”‘
‘She knew I was filming, that’s why she called. I love her so much. We call each other BFFs.’
The pair were first introduced by celebrity make-up artist Christian Vermaak and have been firm friends ever since, regularly snapped together at glamorous parties.

Kylie herself starred on Neighbours as Charlene Robinson, who went on to marry Scott Robinson, played by Jason Donovan.
She left the show in 1988 in order to focus on her music career, with her character moving to Brisbane.
It was announced that Neighbours would cease production after it was revealed early last month that British broadcaster Channel 5 had dropped the Australian series in favour of local content.
‘We are so sorry to say that after nearly 37 years and almost 9,000 episodes broadcast we have to confirm that Neighbours will cease production in June,’ Neighbours announced on social media on Thursday.
‘Following the loss of our key broadcast partner in the UK and despite an extensive search for alternative funding, we simply have no option but to rest the show.’
Kylie tweeted out in tribute to the show after news broke that it would be pulled from the air.

‘I can still hear Madge calling … CHARLENE!!!!’
