Fletcher's character Karl Kennedy will feature in a romantic storyline with Abdul as he reveals a long-time crush on her when she pays a visit to Erinsborough.

Abdul said today (March 18): "I remember watching Neighbours when I was in England in the 1980s. I thought it was a lot of fun and for it to still be popular after nearly 30 years is an amazing achievement.

"Everyone was so nice, and I will admit Dr Karl was very charming. I had a really lovely time."

Show bosses teased that viewers will have to wait to see whether Abdul is attracted to Karl and what his wife Susan (Jackie Woodburne) will make of the situation.

Abdul is currently working as a judge on the fourth season of So You Think You Can Dance Australia. Her Neighbours scenes will air in June.
