Former Ramsay Street stars Delta Goodrem, Jesse Spencer, Kym Valentine and Carla Bonner will also be making appearances, so look forward to the return of Nina, Billy, Libby and, of course, Steph Scully.

The iconic series wrapped filming in June after 37 years on the air, due to the loss of their "key broadcast partner in the UK".

As well as being a hit in Australia, Neighbours also took off in the UK, growing quite a big following.

The news was shared via the show's Twitter account back in March.

"We are so sorry to say that after nearly 37 years and almost 9000 episodes broadcast we have to confirm that Neighbours will cease production in June," they announced at the time.

"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.
