This week saw the final confirmation that Neighbours is sadly set to end its 37-year run, after production company Fremantle were unable to find a replacement UK broadcasting partner.<\/p>\n

The news has led to much disappointment among the Aussie soap\u2019s fanbase \u2013 and now some legends of the show have also spoken out to express their sadness at the cancellation.<\/p>\n

Pop icon Kylie Minogue \u2013 who began her career as Charlene Robinson on the soap \u2013 led the tributes, writing on Twitter that she would be \u201cforever grateful\u201d for her two years on Ramsey Street.<\/p>

\u201cWe had no idea how big the show would become and how passionately viewers would take it to heart,\u201d she wrote. \u201cPure love! I can still hear Madge calling \u2026 CHARLENE!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n
