Kylie turned down for 'Neighbours' reunion

Kylie Minogue has revealed that she offered to take part in the upcoming Neighbours reunion - but was turned down by producers.

The singer, who starred as Charlene Robinson, was keen to join other former actors in filming a cameo appearance as part of the Aussie soap's 20th anniversary celebrations later this year.

"With my tour, I could only have done it if they filmed it in the UK," she said today. "But they declined. It's a big shame."
