Neighbours star Blair McDonough will quit the Aussie soap to try an acting career in the UK.

Kylie Minogue, Natalie Imbruglia and Holly Valance are but three names in a long list that has enjoyed success following stints in Australian soap operas.
Like many who went before him McDonough will start out in British pantomime, after landing a part as buttons in a production of Cinderella.
A spokesperson for the star said: "Other avenues will be explored when we get there."
McDonough has spent four years as Stuart Parker on Neighbours.
