Neighbours is no stranger to cameos, and they’ve now recruited an unexpected face to join them in Nunawading, where the soap's shot.

Neighbours actress April Rose Pengilly, who plays Chloe Brennan, shared a behind the scenes snap confirming the exciting news.
She wrote, “A hefty “thank you” to @russellbrand for coming and shooting a scene for the show today! I’m a big fan of his work, so was just a lil’ bit excited 😸 @neighbours”
