Kylie Minogue 'tried to block Neighbours'

Kylie Minogue once attempted to block broadcasts of episodes of Neighbours which she appeared in, it has been claimed.

The singer rose to fame playing Charlene in the Australian soap. According to the Daily Mail, Reg Grundy - one of the programme makers - has claimed that Minogue tried to ban repeats of her on-screen wedding to Jason Donovan's Scott Robinson

"That marriage probably got the highest ratings of any marriage in Australia," he said. "She went on to great success and I applaud that."

He continued: "She said we couldn't use the tapes because she didn't want us to use them. And we said, 'No, we own the tapes'. And she had to accept it.

"It was like, our lawyers versus their lawyers," he said. "But I think she felt as her career grew, she didn't want to be remembered for being on a soap."

He added: "That's understandable I think. But it did give her the break and I think now she does acknowledge that."
