Neighbours is facing the chop - and fans across the globe have been left in floods of tears.
The much-loved Australian soap has been on our screens for nearly 40 years, proving to be more popular in our own shores than it is Down Under, formerly on the BBC and then Channel 5.
However, Channel 5 have announced they won't be airing more trips to Erinsborough to see Doctor Karl, Susan and Toadie when their contract ends in August 2022 - leaving the soap with a bleak future unless another UK broadcaster is secured.
