Neighbours legend Craig McLachlan once got humped by a dog on set while he was dressed as the Easter Bunny.
It happened after the hunk collapsed in the heat while dishing out eggs to co-stars on the soap’s set in the late 1980s.

He said: “I hopped around the cul de sac going to all the cast members, but what we didn’t think about is that it was unusually hot.
“After I’ve jumped and hopped to the fifth or sixth cast member, I was starting to hallucinate in that darn rabbit suit.
“When I was about 15ft away from the wardrobe bus, I just collapsed to my knees. I was on the verge of blacking out. Then, through the costume, I could hear someone say, ‘Come on, Bluey!’.

“There was a fella who lived around the corner who had a mastiff dog who was clearly confused seeing me in my Easter Bunny costume on all fours… I’ll leave it for you to work out what that big mastiff did to the Easter bunny!”
Craig is worried there’s photo evidence of the incident somewhere in the Neighbours archives.
He added: “Somewhere is probably a very curious photo of a loved-up pooch. Enough said.”
The soap ends with a double bill on Friday at 9pm on Channel 5.
The end of the show was confirmed earlier this year as Channel 5 confirmed they would no longer be able to show and budget the fan-favourite soap.
A statement at the time said: “Neighbours will no longer air on Channel 5 beyond this summer. It’s been a much-loved part of our schedule for more than a decade, and we’d like to thank the cast, Fremantle and all of the production team for their fantastic work on this iconic series.
“We’d also of course like to thank the fans for their loyal support of Neighbours across the years.”
They added: “We recognise that there will be disappointment about this decision, however our current focus is on increasing our investment in original UK drama, which has strong appeal for our viewers.”
Some fan-favourites will be returning to the show to mark the end of the successful series, with the likes of Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan reuniting for the final.
