Holly Willoughby joins Save Neighbours campaign as long-running soap's axe confirmed

Holly Willoughby is one of a number of stars who have thrown their support behind a campaign to save Neighbours after it was confirmed the long-running soap will be axed.

The programme, which now airs on Channel 5 in the UK after making the switch from BBC, has been on screen for 37 years, but over the last few weeks speculation surrounded its fate, particularly after Channel 5 announced that they were cutting ties.

That left production company Fremantle with an uphill battle to secure its future and, on Thursday, a post on Neighbours' Twitter account broke the news that, rumours from Wednesday night were true, and the soap will cease filming in just a few months time.
