Neighbours star Jason Donovan almost hit by London bus in video

TV presenter Jeremy Vine captured video of Neighbours legend Jason Donovan almost getting knocked over by a London tour bus.

Uploading the footage to social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) yesterday (October 24), Vine wrote: "Bloody hell. I just saw a bus nearly take out Jason Donovan."

Vine was out in the bustling streets of London at the time, filming his bicycle commute home from a helmet-mounted camera.

The pair could be seen exchanging pleasantries while riding their bikes, as Vine told Donovan of his filming apparatus: "It's the first time I'm trying this actually..."

As a double-decker bus swings round behind him, Donovan was then urged to watch out as Vine allows it to pass him.

"Ooooohhhh, how can he do that?" he asked, with the red public transport cruising just inches away from the star, who was positioned on double yellow lines.

"How can the bus go that close to you!?" Vine then added.

But Donovan seemed completely unbothered, casually replying: "It's a great helmet! I could see it and I thought, 'Who the hell would do something like that?' but then I looked at the face and thought, 'It has to be Jeremy.'"

The near miss comes after Donovan previously admitted he was left "surprised" by the revival of Neighbours after the soap gathered an enormous party of ex-stars for its farewell episode last year.

Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach.
