Former Neighbours star Natalie Imbruglia was surprised to learn about on-screen son Ned Willis.

The singer portrayed Beth Brennan in the Ramsay Street soap between 1992 and 1994. The character eventually had a son with Brad Willis named Ned, who ended up moving to Erinsborough in 2016 and is played by Ben Hall.

During an interview with Behnaz Akhgar on BBC Radio Wales yesterday (June 22), Natalie was asked whether she watches the show now and again and see how her son is doing.

"I have a son? What?" she replied with shock. "Oh my god. Oh my god, I didn't even know that. That is brilliant.

"Oh my god, that's hysterical. Do you know, because when I do watch it, I get freaked ? it's like other people are in my house. I haven't watched it in a long time, but thank you for telling me I have a son on telly."

Natalie also said she has "really fond memories" of her time on Neighbours, saying that she wouldn't be where she is now without the Australian soap.

"I have a lot of great friendships from that time, and it was a really good introduction to the industry," she explained.

"I learnt a lot, and it's the reason I'm here, because the success of that show got me to the UK and made me realise I wanted to live here and be here."

Ned's current storyline at UK pace sees his relationship with Yashvi Rebecchi in trouble after she discovers the emotional connection he had with the new Sheila Canning.

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

Neighbours has responded after Natalie Imbruglia's shock about on-screen son Ned Willis.

In a recent BBC Radio Wales interview with Behnaz Akhgar, Natalie ? who portrayed Beth Brennan between 1992 and 1994 ? was told that her character's son (played by Ben Hall) is currently on Ramsay Street.

"I have a son? What!" she replied. "Oh my god, I didn't even know that. That is brilliant."

Following this, the Erinsborough soap reacted to Natalie's confusion by tweeting from both the UK and Australian Twitter accounts, suggesting that Beth could pay a visit.

"Well, this is awkward. 😂" the UK account tweeted. "It must be time for a visit!"

"Looks like Beth is due for a visit in Erinsborough?" the Australian account added.

Ned has been in Erinsborough since 2016. His recent storylines have mostly revolved around his emotional connection with the new Sheila Canning and subsequent relationship troubles with Yashvi Rebecchi.

Elsewhere in the same interview, Natalie said that she has "really fond memories" of her time on Neighbours.

"I learnt a lot," she said, "and it's the reason I'm here, because the success of that show got me to the UK and made me realise I wanted to live here and be here."

Natalie is currently promoting her next album Firebird, which is out in September.

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