Neighbours star Stephanie McIntosh has revealed how her half-brother Jason Donovan is supporting her as she tries to launch a music career.
The 22-year-old actress - better known as troubled Sky Mangel on the Aussie soap - has moved to Donovan's UK home, and is hoping to match his success. Jason signed his own recording contract after leaving Ramsay Street in 1988, and soon topped the UK chart with Especially For You and Too Many Broken Hearts.
"We're 17 years apart so when he was going through this stage, I was too young to comprehend what he was doing," Stephanie told the Daily Star. "But now we share in it and support each other, so big brother is looking after me!"
Stephanie filmed her final Neighbours scenes earlier this year. She has already released her debut single Mistake in the UK, and follow-up single So Do I Say Sorry First? is out next week.
