Neighbours' UK tour has announced its final cast member following the news that the soap is returning.

Announcing the news via Twitter, Neighbours: The Celebration Tour, which was formerly known as The Farewell Tour, said they were "thrilled" to welcome actor Stefan Dennis to the tour.

"There was no name we heard more than Stefan Dennis when it came to requests for the tour – and we couldn't imagine it without him either. Thrilled to have Paul Robinson himself on the road with us in 2023," they tweeted.

Dennis, who has played original character Paul Robinson since 1985, will join Karl and Susan Kennedy stars Alan Fletcher and Jackie Woodburne, Toadie actor Ryan Moloney and more for the UK tour which begins next year.

Earlier this month, the tour confirmed it would still be going ahead after the shock announcement that the cancelled soap would be returning for a brand new series in 2023.

"First things first, we are THRILLED that Neighbours is coming back," they shared via Twitter. "As for The Farewell Tour, it will absolutely be going ahead as planned – we just need a new name. 2023... Bring it on!"

Following on from that, the tour, which was originally planned as a goodbye tour, announced that it would be changing its name to reflect the news.

"Following the exciting news that the show is returning, we’'re rebranding the Farewell Tour (for the third time!) to Neighbours – The Celebration Tour, a name which perfectly represents what it was always planned to be, a celebration of Neighbours past, present and FUTURE!" they wrote.

Neighbours is set to return to our screens with a world premiere in the second half of 2023, after being saved by Amazon Freevee.

Neighbours returns in the second half of 2023 with new episodes streaming free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. Network 10 will retain first-run rights in Australia for the new series.
