HOLLYWOOD A-lister Margot Robbie and pop stars Holly Valance and Natalie Imbruglia will appear in Neighbours’ final episode.
Movie megastar Margot, 32, who played Donna Freedman in the Aussie soap from 2008 until 2011, filmed a scene from LA.
A source said: “Everyone working on the soap was determined that Neighbours would end on a real high and when they reached out to Margot she said ‘yes’ straight away.
“There was no way she wasn’t going to be a part of the historic big finale as she’s always spoken so fondly about her time on the soap and how it helped to launch her movie career.
“Sadly, she couldn’t get to Australia for filming but recorded a special clip that will be shown in the big finale.”
Margot, Hollywood’s highest-paid actress, sent 37 bottles of champagne to the set — one for each year of the soap.

The source added: “It’s incredible when you think how well she’s done in Hollywood.

“All those big returnees that we never thought we’d get back were just brilliant.”
Natalie Imbruglia, 47, and Holly Valance, 39, shot scenes together in London, even though their characters Beth Brennan and Felicity “Flick” Scully never appeared together in Ramsay Street.
A source said: “It was quite special — the fans are going to love it. And there might be a little nod to their pop careers.”
In February, we revealed that the soap was being axed, devastating fans.
