Speaking on ITV's Lorraine, Ryan revealed more about why he had a backup career: "Ironically it was the change of stations in Australia - when we changed from Channel 10 to Channel 11.

"Normally the change of stations signifies that the show is going to go! So I rang up my wife and said: 'I need to find a new job'.

"But it's been doing really well."

Toadie’s current dramatic storyline sees his wife Dee Bliss return from the dead 13 years after he accidentally drove her off a cliff.

Ryan explained: "Toadie's happily married, but obviously Dee died and Dee was the love of his life.

“And now he's found a new love of his life. They've been married for a little while now. Things have been

going well - up until now!

"What do you do? You never fell out of love with this person, did you? You didn't break up with them.

You accidentally killed them! So what do you do when they turn up? Do those old feelings come back?"

Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.
