We hope that Holly Valance was tuned into Neighbours today, as the show appeared to give her a cheeky shout-out from her real-life sister Olympia.

Holly found fame playing Felicity Scully on the Aussie soap between 1999 and 2002... and it seems the producers were keen to show they haven't forgotten her all these years later.

When Olympia's character Paige Smith headed off for a much-needed night on the town in today's episode, she and her friend David Tanaka decided to escape from their troubles by taking on some fake identities.

Paige told her pal: "Tonight can be a night where we pretend that our lives are simple. That we're not hiding anything. We're not going to be David and Paige."

Sure enough, David got into the spirit of things by becoming "Xavier" for the night.

Paige also had a fun idea for her own 'new name', asking: "How about Felicity?"

Sounds good to us! Although the other Felicity's life was never simple...

Neighbours fans quickly picked up on the Easter Egg in the episode, pointing out that Olympia's line was a reference to her real-life sister.

Felicity was last seen on Neighbours in 2005, when she made a brief cameo with a video message in the show's 20th anniversary special. Olympia, meanwhile, has been part of the Neighbours cast since 2014.

While Holly isn't exactly in need of the work or money, Olympia revealed last year that a return for Flick isn't completely out of the question.

She told the Express: "A Flick return would be good. It would be so much fun because Steph's on the show, so she should come back and see her sister.

"She probably would do it for me. I mean she's in London doing her own thing. It wouldn't be for money that's for sure, but maybe to work with her sister."

Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.
