Dannii Minogue might be busy having backstage clashes with fellow X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne, but the Aussie star is to get back to her roots with a special appearance in Home and Away. Minogue starred as naughty tear away Emma Jackson in the soap for a year in 1988, a stint that won her a Silver Logie Award for the 'Most Popular Actress on Australian Television', and now with the show set to celebrate its 20th anniversary next year, Dannii is keen to join in the festivities.

A source claims: "Dannii knows it was Home and Away that really got her to where she is today, and she wants to help them with their anniversary celebrations next year. Even though she is very busy with work at the moment, she is planning on setting aside some time to do a couple of episodes of the show. She'll be in Australia anyway, judging on Australia's Got Talent, so it won't be too hard for her to pop along to the set." I’m sure Sharon will be so sad to see her go.
