Roof caves in on 'Neighbours' set

Neighbours bosses faced a real-life drama last week as a roof collapsed on one of the soap's sets, it has been revealed.

The incident occurred at the show's base at Global Studios in Nunawading, Melbourne last Friday, according to the Herald Sun.

Although builders were on site at the time of the collapse, it is understood that there were no injuries. Additionally, no actors were present as Neighbours' annual production break does not conclude until January 24.

Reports suggest that the set in question was still being built at the time of the incident. Due to the damage caused, it will now have to be completely demolished and constructed again from scratch.

A spokesperson for Neighbours' production company Fremantle Media insisted that the delay in completing the new set will not affect filming.

He said: "It was not going to be in use straight away."

Neighbours moved to digital station Eleven in Australia earlier this week.
