I’ll be forever grateful for the experience & the friends I made on @neighbours. We had no idea how big the show would become and how passionately viewers would take it to heart. Pure love! I can still hear Madge calling … CHARLENE!!!!

A Neighbours superfan from Yorkshire who owns two Ramsay Street properties is backing a move to give the famous Australian street heritage status.

Mr Whitney, originally from Melbourne but now living in York, is supporting a council motion to make "Hollywood Down Under" a heritage asset site.

"It's a 37-year-old film set, of course it should be protected," he said.

The 46-year-old entrepreneur's properties have been home to Neighbours stalwarts, including Toadie 'Toadfish' Rebecchi and Paul Robinson and formed the backdrop for the blossoming love of Scott Robinson and Charlene Mitchell.

Mr Whitney, a self-confessed "massive fan" of the programme, said he invested "a good million dollars" (about £550,000) in number 3 and number 6 Pin Oak Court, Vermont South, where the series has been filmed since 1985.



Businessman Andrew Whitney purchased 6 Pin Oak Court, otherwise known as 26 Ramsay Street, in 1998 and invested in 3 Pin Oak Court in 2013
