Jason Donovan FINALLY visits Jason Donervan kebab van

A legendary kebab van - the name of which was inspired by Neighbours - managed to make it onto the small screen this weekend.

The Bristol-based Jason Donervan kebab stand was featured in a segment on Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway and left a lasting impression on viewers.

But viewers were left astounded when the Bristolian van was visited by the real Jason Donovan who tried some of its food, Bristol Live reports.

The van previously made an appearance on the ITV Saturday night show which saw a huge crowd cheering and waving behind presenter Andi Peters who was travelling the UK to visit 'punny' food vans.

In between giving viewers competition instructions, Andi Peters and Jason Donervan's owner exchanged a number of quips, with the latter telling Andi: "I was promised I'd get to meet Ant & Dec", to which Andi replied: "I was promised I'd get to meet a soapstar".

The owners were then asked if the van's namesake, Jason Donovan, had ever visited to which they said "no" - Andi spoke to the camera and called on Jason to get a kebab at the place with "literally with your name on it".

At around 8.15pm, viewers were surprised to see the cameras on Ant & Dec's show flashback to Andi Peters in Bristol when Jason Donovan emerged from the crowd to grab a takeaway from his namesake van, calling it "pretty special".

People in the crowd said nobody knew he was coming and when the filming was done, Jason posed for photos with the Jason Donervan team before leaving in a limo.

In the studio, Paloma Faith commented that Jason Donovan eating from a Donervan was "high quality entertainment"
