Alan Fletcher calls on Kylie and Jason to reunite

Alan Fletcher wants Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan to reunite for charity.
The 63-year-old actor – who plays Karl Kennedy in ‘Neighbours’ – has revealed he’d happily throw his support behind the former soap stars if they opt to reunite in order to raise money for the coronavirus fight.
Asked about the possibility of the celebrity duo re-recording or re-releasing their 1988 single ‘Especially for You’, Alan said: "Awesome idea! C’mon Jason and Kylie – get around it!"
Alan also revealed he’s been binge-watching numerous TV shows amid the current lockdown.
The veteran soap star added: "I am watching tons of YouTube clips on making music and photography."
Away from the TV business, Alan is a long-time fan of Liverpool Football Club, who were leading the Premier League when the English season was halted in March.
The actor admitted that 2020 season has been "the most exciting and deflating year" he can remember.
Speaking to Sky News, Alan explained: "I was slated to be at Anfield to see Liverpool Football Club versus Crystal Palace.
"This was very likely to be the game that sealed the league, could have been one of the biggest memories of my life. Sadly not to be.
"Hopefully the season will be completed in late June and LFC will receive their thoroughly deserved crown."
In the meantime, Alan has been busily recording videos for fans to raise money to support artists during the pandemic.
He said: "When coronavirus hit I saw the entertainment industry take an incredible hit. Every theatre show and every TV and film production, every music gig, had to stop with almost no government support for artists.
"So I have added in these Cameo video shout-outs for fans to raise money to support artists in the time of COVID-19."
