Neighbours star reveals he has terminal cancer

Neighbours star Ian Smith, known for playing Harold Bishop in the Australian soap, has announced his departure from the show after revealing he has terminal cancer.

The 86-year-old actor said in an interview with Australia’s 10 News First that he has a rare form of lung cancer, called pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma.

Speaking to presenter Angela Bishop, he said: “I found out a few months back that I have cancer, that I have a very aggressive non-fixable cancer and they expect me to die.”

Smith first appeared on the show in 1987 as an old flame of Madge, played by Anne Charleston.
