Neighbours star Nicola Charles claims cast members tried to get her deported

Former Neighbours actress Nicola Charles has claimed two of her cast mates once tried to get her deported back to the UK.

In her book, Charles alleges that she found a handwritten letter sent to the immigration department shortly after her six-month probation period on Neighbours ended in 1996, just as her contract was about to be extended.

A day later, former Neighbours actor Meyne Wyatt said he too had experienced racism on set in a tweet.

"Neighbours strives to be a platform for diversity and inclusion on-screen and off-screen," a spokesperson for Fremantle Media told the BBC.
