More than three decades after she departed Home and Away’s golden shores, Dannii Minogue is set to make her acting comeback in a bitter family drama also starring Neighbours icon Jackie Woodburne.

The new TV series, titled Imposter, is being produced for the UK’s Channel 5 and shot in Australia.

Spotted filming in Melbourne, Minogue, 53, cut a radiant figure as she donned a white summer dress matched with blue and tan heels, and a sky blue coat.

In shots from filming, Minogue cosies up to co-star Harrison Popple, an emerging Perth-born talent whose best known credit to date is Australian children’s drama Itch, filmed in Perth and Albany from 2019-2020.

Woodburne, 69, looked a far cry from her beloved Susan Kennedy character on the soap, seen sporting a grey coat and dusty silver hair.

Imposter has been described as a Succession-like family feud with a fight for money at its core.

Its Aussie cast also features familiar faces Don Hany and Jane Harber, both of whom starred in popular drama Offspring. Harber is also known for Upper Middle Bogan.

UK actress and singer Kym Marsh, who became a show favourite on Coronation Street, is also set to star.

An Australian broadcaster is yet to be announced but it is set to screen in the UK in 2026.
