Amanda shared the first look of her as Harriet on set of the hit soap and gave fans a glimpse of her posh character on Instagram.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge was siting on a cane chair by a vintage telephone on an equally retro phone table with gold legs and a marble effect top.

Amanda picked up the black vintage phone to ask for the ‘operator’ to dial her into the famous street where the Neighbours all live.

Looking stunning in a blush pink dress, Amanda wore her hair in layered waves and held a Neighbours script close to her chest.

“Oh hello operator, Ramsay St please,” she said in a mock posh accent.

Amanda captioned the post: “Everybody needs good @neighbours 
??
Back on set tomorrow with the gorgeous @jemma_donovan.”

Excited Neighbours fans were thrilled with the clip who told Amanda, “can’t wait to see you on neighbours.”

Another fan wrote: “Good luck!! so excited!!”

And a third added: “Look forward to seeing you in neighbours

Jason starred as Scott Robinson alongside Kylie Minogue as his screen wife Charlene.

Amanda said: “Like most people in the UK who were around in the late Eighties and early Nineties, I grew up watching Neighbours every single day.

“I was glued to our TV for the wedding of Scott and Charlene, while cursing Mrs Mangel and praying Mike and Jane would eventually get together.”

Jemma plays Harlow Robinson who comes to the UK to solve a mystery about her late mother Prue, who was played by Denise van Outen.

Amanda is filming scenes around London over the next week, which viewers will see on Channel 5 in the spring.

She is among an eclectic line-up of British celebrities who have been in the show.

Fellow Britain’s Got Talent judge David Walliams was on it in 2007 alongside his Little Britain co-star Matt Lucas.

Others include Pet Shop Boys’ Chris Lowe, Michael Parkinson, Russell Brand, Julian Clary, Janet Street-Porter, Emma Bunton, Lily Allen, Neil Morrissey, Sinitta, Derek Nimmo, Tim Vine and Jess Glynne.
