Bailey praises 'Neighbours' colleagues

Neighbours star Imogen Bailey has singled out two former colleages for praise.

The actress and former bikini model said Ryan Maloney, who plays Toadie, and Alan Fletcher, who portrays Karl Kennedy, were always of assistance during her time on the show.

Bailey, who has appeared in the Australian versions of Celebrity Big Brother and Celebrity Survivor, remarked that Maloney "could not have been more welcoming" and is "a beautiful person", while Fletcher "was really helpful too".

"I can honestly say Neighbours has the kindest, most generous and the most passionate cast and crew I've ever worked with," she added.

Bailey, who joined the cast as Nicola West in January, has just finished her stint on the Australian soap.
