Reg Grundy, the producer behind soap opera Neighbours, has died aged 92.

The Australian TV mogul - whose hits also included The Young Doctors and Prisoner: Cell Block H - passed away in Bermuda where he lived with his wife, the BBC said.

Neighbours brought Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan, who played young couple Scott and Charlene Robinson, worldwide fame as pop stars.

The CEO of Grundy's former company Grundy Worldwide, which later became known as FremantleMedia Australia, paid tribute to him.

Ian Hogg said Grundy was an "icon" and that his "innate understanding of great storytelling and entertainment lives on today" through programmes like Neighbours which are still running.
