    Exclamation Raphael (Ryan Thomas)

    Ryan Thomas says g’day mate to Neighbours as he signs up to the Aussie soap.

    The ex-Coronation Street star is trading the cobbled streets of Weatherfield for warmer climes in Erinsborough as we can reveal he’s bagged a role on the popular show.

    His first part since Corrie is sure to raise eyebrows as Ryan, 33, becomes one of only a few Brit TV stars to move Down Under.

    Little is known about his character Raphael and how long he will be a part of the show, but insiders are expecting him to be a big hit.

    A source said: “Ryan’s news may come as a bit of a surprise but people are confident he’ll make a big splash on Neighbours.

    “He’ll bring his Corrie fans with him and earn a new legion of fans along the away.

    “He is just waiting on his visa. Then he’ll be moving to Australia to film the show.”

    While Brit exports to Aussie soaps are rare, many alumni of Ramsay Street – such as Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan – have made a huge success on our screens. It was also a platform for Guy Pearce, Holly Valance and Margot Robbie .

    I’m sure Ryan is hoping for a similar boost from the show – nearly axed by Channel 5 because of a disagreement with producers, as the Sunday Mirror exclusively revealed.

    It is not yet known what the move will do for Ryan’s blossoming romance with ex-Towie star Lucy Mecklenburgh , 26.

    They confirmed their relationship after meeting on Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls and are currently in Italy at a wedding. Ryan also has an eight-year-old daughter with former Corrie co-star Tina O’Brien.

    The actor had been tipped to head to the jungle later this year, following younger brother Adam. Maybe he could eat some witchetty grubs between filming?

    It’s a turn of fortune for Ryan, who filed for bankruptcy after getting a £40,000 tax bill. When he left Corrie last year after playing Jason Grimshaw for 16 years there was speculation – denied by Ryan – he was aiming for Hollywood.

    Now it looks like he will be going global.

    Great to have you back, Ryan!
