19 Times Celebrities Appeared On "Neighbours" In The Most Random Ways

Russell Brand had a cameo as himself on Neighbours in 2020, during which he performed a mostly improvised monologue, which included delivering the line “that’s quite a muffin you’ve got there, mate” to Toadie.

Courtney Act appeared on Neighbours for Mardi Gras and Pride episodes in 2020 and was originally even meant to have a romantic plot before it got cut.

Long before Hansongate — so, back in 2019 — the trio of brothers performed an acoustic set as part of the Erinsborough Music Festival.

Soap worlds collided when Katherine Kelly Lang — AKA Brooke from The Bold and the Beautiful — had a cameo on Neighbours, playing herself, in 2016.

Matt Preston and his cravat appeared on Neighbours in 2015, playing himself as the guest judge for the Erinsborough bake-off.

Local Real Housewives star, Gina Liano, appeared on Neighbours in 2015 for a whole week. She played Mary Smith, Paige’s adoptive mother.

In 2014, Paula Abdul appeared as herself — and Dr Karl’s celeb crush.

Paula Abdul isn’t the only singer Dr Karl has fanboyed over — in 2009, he was hyping up Lily Allen, who performed her song “22” on the show.

Before he was in the MCU, Dave Bautista was in Erinsborough. He had a cameo as himself in 2009 and interacted with Toadie and Callum.

Australians bloody love a bit of André Rieu, so it’s not too surprising he’s been highlighted on Neighbours. He played the violin (of course) as the Ramsey St crew danced in the street (of…course?).

In 2008, during a scene with Margot Robbie and Caitlin Stasey, Hamish and Andy made an appearance on Neighbours not as themselves, but as Erinsborough radio hosts Fred and Big Thommo.

The Veronicas performed on Neighbours in 2008, which makes sense considering Jess was dating star Dean Geyer, who played Ty Harper at the time.

In 2007, Matt Lucas and David Williams appeared on Neighbours in character as Little Britain’s Lou and Andy.

Susan and Dr Karl took a trip to London in a 2007 Neighbours plot, where they met the legendary talkshow host, Michael Parkinson.

On the same trip, Susan and Karl bumped into Baby Spice herself. If only we could all get so lucky overseas.

There have been a lot of sports stars who had cameos on Neighbours over the years, but there’s no doubt Shane Warne’s in 2006 was one of the most iconic.

In 2001, The Wiggles (OG cast) rode into Ramsay St in their Big Red Car. Cute!

It doesn’t get more 2000 than this. Human Nature paid a visit to Neighbours and performed their song “Wishes”. Apparently musical acts are just really drawn to Erinsborough.

Way back in 1986, Molly Meldrum was one of the first cameos on Neighbours, playing himself and auditioning Kylie Minogue’s Charlene as a singer.
