The BBC has denied rumours that it is planning to replace Neighbours with a new British-based soap.
An article in the Media Guardian last week had claimed that the corporation would be ditching the Aussie soap to make way for a new homegrown show "at some point" in the future.
"We have absolutely no plans to replace Neighbours in the foreseeable future," a BBC spokeswoman told Digital Spy, dismissing the report as "just speculation."
She added: "It plays a very important part of the BBC One schedules and is still very popular."
Neighbours remains the most-watched daytime soap on any channel, with a total average of almost 7 million viewers tuning in each day.
