UK network Channel 5 will be sending the beloved soap off in style with a two-hour finale as well as two additional programmes for the ultimate ‘Neighbours Night’.

A spokesperson confirmed the sad news that Neighbours was coming to an end, saying: "It’s been a much-loved part of our schedule for more than a decade, and we’d like to thank the cast, Fremantle and all of the production team for their fantastic work on this iconic series."

The show first aired back in 1985 and is the longest-running series of all-time in Australia.
