Fans across the world have been left devastated by the news that classic soap opera Neighbours is 'facing the axe', after nearly 40 years on TV.
The shock news was broken by The Sun on Saturday night, with a source claiming: “The cast and crew in Melbourne haven’t been told about the decision. They will be devastated. Neighbours is an institution people grew up with.”
The paper added that bosses at Channel 5, the broadcaster who air it in the UK, have been locked in talks with producers at Fremantle Australia to try and safeguard the much loved show's future, but a deal has yet to be struck.
