Neighbours star Alan Fletcher has said the Australian soap was “too popular to let slip,” ahead of the show’s revival by Amazon Freevee. The Neighbours reboot on the streaming service was announced in November, after it was initially dropped by Channel 5 following failure to secure new funding.
Speaking to ITV’s Good Morning Britain, 65-year-old Fletcher, who plays Neighbours favourite Karl Kennedy, said: “I had nothing to do with it. I can’t claim any credit.
"But you know, more than five million people watched the last episode in the UK and it was the highest rating programme here in Australia. I think that people just recognise that and realise this show is too popular to let slip, so we’re very, very pleased that Amazon has picked up the show.”
