Kylie Minogue teams up with her sister Dannii Minogue to recreate the infamous Dynasty catfight between Joan Collins and Linda Evans.
It is one of a series of sketches that make up an ITV special to be screened on Saturday night.
The pop princess also reunites with former boyfriend Jason Donovan and dons the trademark dungarees and perm hair-do which launched her into the public eye as Charlene Mitchell.
TV viewers will see Donovan send himself up and pretend not to know who the pop princess he once dated is during The Kylie Show on ITV1.
Mean girl: sweet Kylie shows her fiery side
Kylie and Jason's appearance together takes place 20 years after their on-screen Neighbours wedding was one of TV's biggest events.
In another scene Kylie - dressed as a grown-up Charlene - appears slumped on the floor with smoky eyes and surrounded by bottles.
