Kylie Minogue and Natalie Imbruglia are among the stars who could be returning to Neighbours for its upcoming 20th anniversary.

As we previously reported, as many as thirty ex cast members could be back for cameo appearances later this year as the Aussie soap celebrates the milestone.

Kylie Minogue, Natalie Imbruglia and Guy Pearce were invited back but were thought to have turned the offer down - but the possibility still exists, according to a report in Sydney's Daily Telegraph.

A spokeswoman for the programme told the newspaper that the trio had "definitely not" been ruled out, adding: "Never say never."

Other former castmates expected back include Kym Valentine, Melissa Bell and Daniel MacPherson.
