Former Neighbours star addresses finale return after 28 years away

 "End of an era."

Former Neighbours star Natalie Imbruglia has taken to Instagram to share some finale filming snaps and address her return for the last-ever episode, which airs tonight on Channel 5 (July 29).

The actress posted a selfie with fellow Neighbours alumni Holly Valance as well as a group image of the pair filming in London with the crew.

Imbruglia used the post to thank Neighbours for launching her career and told fans she had a "laugh" filming with Valance.

"Such a laugh filming [Neighbours] final episode with [Holly] in London. I have so many happy memories from my time on Neighbours and I wouldn't be where I am today without it! End of an era," she captioned the post.

The Beth Brennan actress also shared two throwback photos from her time on Ramsay Street in the '90s.

Back in February, Imbruglia spoke about potentially rejoining the cast for a Neighbours farewell.

"I would consider going back, I think it would be lovely to walk through those doors. I mean, I probably won't recognise anyone – not even my [on screen] son," she said.
