The official Twitter account for the show posted a statement from the soap’s bosses confirming the programme would be brought to an end.
It read: “We are so sorry to say that after nearly 37 years and almost 9,000 episodes broadcast we have to confirm that Neighbours will cease production in June.
“Following the loss of our key broadcast partner in the UK and despite an extensive search for alternative funding, we simply have no option but to rest the show.
“To our amazing, loyal fans, we know this is a huge disappointment, as it is to all of us on the team.
“We thank you for all your messages and support and promise to end the show on an incredible high. From here on, we are celebrating Neighbours,” it concluded.
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1:45pm and 6pm on Channel 5.
