Former Hollyoaks star Benjamin Hart is joining the cast of Aussie soap Neighbours.
The 29-year-old actor - who played Foz on the Channel 4 show - will join the cast within the next month. According to the Herald Sun, producers hope that recruiting the British star will attract new viewers in the UK.
Hart will be the first of several new faces arriving on Ramsay Street to replace departing cast members. Janet Andrewartha - better known as Lyn Scully - has already left screens in Oz. Ben Nicholas (Stingray Timmins), Damien Bodie (Dylan Timmins), Nell Feeney (Janelle Timmins), Sianoa Smit-McPhee (Bree Timmins), Kyal Marsh (Boyd Hoyland) and Stephanie McIntosh (Sky Mangel) will also be leaving later this year.
