Actor Terence Donovan has died aged 90, his family says. The British-born actor was popular for his role in two police dramas Division 4 and Cop Shop, which aired in the 1970s and 1980s. Donovan, the father of actor Jason Donovan , was also regular cast member on Neighbours in the early 1990s. His character, Doug Willis, returned several times over the years. In a statement, Jason and his brother, Paul, said Terence was “our world”. “Our dad was a huge character, larger than life,” they said.

“We will desperately miss him but we take comfort knowing we were all here by his side in his final days.”
