Paula Abdul makes cameo appearance on ‘Neighbours’

By Josh Haggis

Paula Abdul has made a cameo appearance on long-running Aussie soap Neighbours.

The singer played herself in an episode that aired in Australia today (June 20), sharing scenes with much-loved character Karl Kennedy, who apparently has a bit of a  rush on the Coldhearted Snake singer.

“I remember watching Neighbours when I was in England in the 1980s,” said the former American Idol judge of the Ramsay Street soap.

“I thought it was a lot of fun, and for it to still be popular after nearly 30 years is an amazing achievement.”

Abdul, 52. then said of filming her guest role of the show: “Everyone was so nice and I will admit, Dr Karl was very charming. I had a really lovely time.”

UK viewers will have to wait until Friday, July 4 to catch her appearance on Channel Five.
