Neighbours' Alan Fletcher makes tearful appearance on This Morning as soap's finale approaches

With Neighbours soon coming to an end, actor Alan Fletcher jetted over to the UK and made a rare appearance on This Morning. Alan, who has played Karl Kennedy in the Australian soap for almost 30 years, was visibly emotional when talking to Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary about the show's final few weeks.

After viewing a montage created by This Morning on Monday, July 11, Alan said: "Oh man, that was a trip wasn’t it," before admitting that the clip had made him shed a tear. He added: “It’s wonderful to be here, I’ve got a bit of a tear going on here now.”

Alison replied: "28 years on the show, I’m not surprised!" before asking: "When you watch that back does it bring back lovely memories?" But the host noticed that their guest appeared emotional and reached out to grab his knee as she exclaimed: “Oh you’re really crying, really getting emotional.”
