Neighbours icon Natalie Bassingthwaighte has shared her devastation over fears the soap could be axed after 37 years.
The future of the legendary Aussie soap, which launched the careers of Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Guy Pearce and Holly Valance, hangs in the balance after Channel 5 announced it would not be renewing its contract to air the long-running series.
Bosses at the UK broadcaster, which bankrolls most of the production costs despite Neighbours being filmed in Australia, confirmed in a statement last week that they would not be continuing their partnership with Fremantle Australia, as they were focused on producing British drama instead.
