Jackie, 66, remembers the highs and lows before ending with a heartfelt message to all the “good neighbours”.

A source said: “Jackie is very much seen as the soap’s matriarch.

"It felt right that the last words ever spoken would be by her.

"She delivers the performance of a lifetime.”

Pop star Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan, both 54, who played Charlene and Scott Mitchell, filmed their scenes last month.

Channel 5 is due to air the episode on August 1.
