Neighbours fans have spotted another censored scene in the UK.

The moment – noticed during a Twitter conversation between Alan - Neighbours HQ and Mel – happened during Monday's episode (March 23), when Finn Kelly terrorised Susan Kennedy.

In the Australian broadcast, viewers saw Finn intimidate Susan as he approached her with rope. Susan begged Finn to stop, before the episode cut to an outside shot as Susan's screams could be heard.

Susan was then seen still alive, as she was being tied to the chair.

But UK viewers on Channel 5 didn't see Finn scaring Susan in the same way or hear Susan screaming. In the UK broadcast, Finn got the rope out, but before he could approach Susan, the episode abruptly cut to Susan being tied to the chair.

The censored scene is likely down to the fact that Neighbours has a PG rating in Australia, allowing network 10 Peach to go slightly further than Channel 5 is able to.

Digital Spy reached out to Channel 5 for comment.

This isn't the first time a scene has been toned down in the UK. In November, Aaron Brennan followed Ned Willis to a gym as part of the fight club storyline, but UK fans didn't see the full extent of Ned's fight – as in the Australian cut, Ned forced his opponent to the ground and continued pummelling him.

At the time, Channel 5 said: "As with all of our programming, we endeavour to make sure that content is appropriate for the audience viewing at that time."

Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
