This Morning host Alison Hammond left fans in shock as she sang a steamy duet with Jason Donovan live on the show.
During Friday’s instalment of the ITV programme, the Australian singer, 56, joined hosts Alison, 49, and Dermot O’Leary, 51, to discuss his upcoming tour.
But the interview took a bit of a steamy detour when Alison asked the Neighbours star if he would duet with her to his and Kylie Minogue‘s iconic song Especially For You.
Jason turned down Alison’s request claiming the song only works with Kylie, but the camera quickly panned back to Alison ‘dreaming’ of her duet with Jason.
The ‘dream’ then kicked off with Alison live singing the intro, with Jason shortly after joining her – and the pair got very close to kissing one another.
Viewers couldn’t believe what they were witnessing as some took to X, formerly Twitter to rave ‘her voice is off the charts!’.

One fan wrote: ‘Haha love it Alison!! He was my first crush too #ThisMorning.’; ‘Very good Alison with your beautiful Brummie accent Xx ❤️’; ‘Jason Donovan doesn’t even sing as well as Alison, and that’s by no means meant as a compliment to Alison. #thismorning’
It comes after Kylie, 52, paid tribute to the singer and actor as their hit duet, Especially For You, turned 32 years old in 2020.
Sharing a throwback photo of the pair together in the 1980s to Instagram, Kylie wrote: ‘Hard to believe, but Especially For You turns… wait for it… 32!’
The Spinning Around singer added: ‘Big love Jason Donovan and all of you who have memories of this song.’
Released in 1988 and reaching number two on the ARIA charts, Especially For You was a popular duet between the two stars, who starred on Neighbours together.
They played the most iconic characters on the long-running soap, starring as lovers Scott Robinson and Charlene Mitchell.
Not long after their characters were married in the classic episode, they both left the show to pursue pop careers.
But their friendship spans back to when they were just 11 years old when they starred as siblings briefly in another Australian show, Skyways.

The pair also dated in real life; and despite not lasting the course, they always remained close friends.
In June 2020, Kylie sent Jason well-wishes on his 52nd birthday.
In an Instagram post, Kylie shared a series of photos from their 40-year friendship, starting from their days as young lovers on Neighbours.
She captioned the images: ‘Happy birthday Jason!!! We go back such a long way now. What amazing times!’
‘Working with the “grown ups”, learning lines, giggling on set with Guy and the team, travelling the world. Etc ETC!!!’
