Channel 5 soap Neighbours has treated fans to a first look at the return of Harold Bishop, as the Australian show prepares for it’s final few months on the air after being axed.

Before we start mourning the demise of the beloved soap, though, there’s a birthday to celebrate! Neighbours recently held its 37th anniversary, and what better way to mark the occasion than with a glimpse of the iconic Harold.

A selection of the show’s stars featured in the short clip, including Charlotte Chimes (Nicolette) Richie Morris (Levi) Takaya Honda (David) and newcomer Gemma Bird Matheson who plays Kiri.

Neighbours veteran Lucinda Cowden (Melanie) also added her sultry singing voice to the proceedings.

Actor Ian Smith was then seen on camera wishing the show that made him a household name a very fond ‘happy birthday’, before he added in astonishment “your 37th birthday!”.

Today is our birthday – it’s been 37 years since we first appeared on screen! ???? ????

We can’t think of a better day to have a #Neighbours LEGEND return to Erinsborough! ???? pic.twitter.com/AWWPREtuEi
