His son, actor Jason Donovan, posted to social media that his father died on Saturday night peacefully in Melbourne, Australia

British-Australian actor Terence Donovan - known for his roles on Neighbours and Home and Away - has died aged 90, his family has said. His son, the actor Jason Donovan, confirmed his father died peacefully in Melbourne, Australia on Saturday night. "Our Dad was a huge character, larger than life. He was our best friend ... our world! We will desperately miss him but we take comfort knowing we were all here by his side in his final days," the post said. London-born Donovan was also popular for his role in Australian police dramas Division 4 and Cop Shop, which aired in the 1970s and 1980s. Jason's post, written alongside his brother Paul, said they will take comfort in "knowing that he lived life to the max. Knowing that in life it's either a daring adventure or nothing at all!" After moving to Australia as a teenager, Donovan started his career as a singer before he made his screen debut in the early 1960s. Ten years later, he secured two of his most well-known roles as Detective Mick Peters in Division 4, followed by Detective Senior Sergeant Vic Cameron in Cop Shop. Donovan joined the cast of Neighbours in the 1990s as Doug Willis, shortly after his son Jason had left the show. He also featured as Al Simpson on Home and Away.
