Bosses of long-running Australian TV soap Neighbours have confirmed it will cease production in June. They have also said the show will end on an 'incredible high'.
The future of the show had been in doubt after Channel 5 last month confirmed it would stop airing the show. And on Thursday morning the show’s Twitter account said: “We are so sorry to say that after nearly 37 years and almost 9,000 episodes broadcast we have to confirm that Neighbours will cease production in June.
“Following the loss of our key broadcast partner in the UK and despite an extensive search for alternative funding, we simply have no option but to rest the show. To our amazing, loyal fans, we know this is a huge disappointment, as it is to all of us on the team. We thank you for all your messages and support and promise to end the show on an incredible high. From here on, we are celebrating Neighbours.”
