Jason Donovan
- Profession: Actor and Singer

- Associated with: Kylie Minogue
This is despite Jason’s huge fame as Scott Robinson in the Australian soap Neighbours, his successful music career with No 1 hits, including Too Many Broken Hearts, and recent stint on the ITV jungle show.
A spy behind the scenes at George Michael’s gig at Wembley on Sunday - where the encounter is said to have taken place - said: "Jason had asked Macca’s aides if he could have a picture taken with him but they said no.
"He did get to shake Macca’s hand because they were all sitting near each other, but Paul didn’t have a clue who he was."
Jason, 38, has been trying to relaunch his career after a few years out of the limelight.

A string of hits including Too Many Broken Hearts and Especially For You made him the biggest male popstar of the time. However, following a turn on the West End stage in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat his career faltered, affected by a cocaine addiction.
He made a comeback in 1999/2000 as Frank N Furter in the West End production of The Rocky Horror Show and more recently has appeared in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Sweeney Todd. He lives in the UK with his girlfriend and their two children.
