Jason Donovan poses with kids on red carpet

Former Neighbours actor Jason Donovan has walked the red carpet in a rare public appearance with his children.

Donovan, 49, joined other stars of the stage at the Olivier Awards in London yesterday with daughter Jemma, 18, and son Zac, 17.

The actor and singer performed a song onstage from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, a stage production he headlined in the 1990s.

He played Scott Robinson in Neighbours from 1986-1989.

Donovan has admitted to a former drug problem in the mid-90s, at the height of which he took two grams of cocaine a day.

He has said he has been drug-free since 2000, when his first child Jemma was born.

He has had three children with partner Angela Malloch.

The Olivier Awards, named for actor Laurence Olivier, are the UK's premier theatre awards.

Other attendees this year included Michael Sheen, Cuba Gooding Jr, and Bryan Cranston, who won the Best Actor award for his role in Network.
