Jason Donovan's daughter Jemma Donovan has joined Neighbours.

The 18-year-old actress has become the third member of the Donovan family to land a role on the Australian soap, following in the footsteps of her father and grandfather.

Jemma is heading to Erinsborough to play the quick-witted and complicated character of Harlow Robinson in the Australian soap, with her first scenes set to air in the summer.

Speaking about her new role, Jemma said: 'I was so happy and very honoured to be a part of a series which has been enjoyed by generations.'

Jemma, who had a recurring role in Netflix series, Spotless, and starred in the BBC One film Mr Stink, added that it couldn't have come at a better time. 

She explained: 'The timing was also perfect because since my previous role on Spotless in 2015, I stopped going to auditions and acting because I wanted to finish my schooling, get my A levels and see what I wanted to do after that so it's great how everything has fallen into place.'

Throwback: Jason played Scott Robinson on the soap from 1986 to 1989, where he married Charlene Mitchell, who was played by Kylie Minogue

Jason - who played Scott Robinson on the soap from 1986 to 1989 - added: 'Neighbours is an incredible learning curve for any young actor.

'It's become an institution and I'm so grateful for my time on Ramsay Street.

'There are so many great memories for me looking back, and to be honest this is Jemma's moment.'

Jason - who is also father to 17-year-old Zac and Molly, seven, with his wife Angela Malloch - shot to fame on the soap in the 80s before kicking off a music career.

In the show, his character Scott married Charlene Mitchell, who was played by Kylie Minogue, and the duo ended up dating in real life from 1984 to 1989.  

Jemma is the third member of the family to star on the soap, as Terence Donovan, Jason's father, also appeared in Neighbours, playing Doug Willis in several spells from 1990 to 2016.

Jason added: 'My dad had a wonderful few years and I'm sure Jemma will also embrace the experience and honour the past.

'She needs to look forward, be an open book, learn from her experiences and have some fun. What an opportunity.' 

Jason Herbison, Neighbours' executive producer, said: 'Jemma did a fantastic audition for Neighbours and her pedigree was an unexpected surprise.

'Jason and Terence are Ramsay Street royalty and it warms all our hearts to know there will be a third generation Donovan on the show.

'I'm excited to see Jemma carry the torch and make the character of Harlow her own.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
