Neighbours star thanks Eddie Redmayne after post-Oscars praise

Neighbours actress Jackie Woodburne has responded to Eddie Redmayne's praise of her and colleague Alan Fletcher.

The Brit lauded the duo - who play Susan and Karl Kennedy in the TV soap - in an interview after winning the Best Actor prize at the Oscars on Sunday (February 22).

He said: "I think they're amazing. I'm a huge fan of them from old. I've learnt a lot from them from watching them daily."

Woodburne has now issued a video message of thanks to Redmayne, saying:

"Congratulations Eddie on all the accolades on your beautiful performance, and thank you so much for the mention. 

"It means more than I can tell you to all of us at Neighbours, not just myself and Alan. Thank you and good luck with everything you do in the future. Congratulations again."

Fletcher added: "To receive such generous praise from an actor of Eddie Redmayne's startling ability and status has been thrilling for both of us."
