Irish broadcasters RTE have apparently struck a long-term deal with FremantleMedia, securing the future of Neighbours on their channels, as well as the rights to shows such as The Bill and Shortland Street.

It was announced this week that Neighbours' launch on Five is still pencilled in for the Spring of 2008, but could happen as early as February, and will coincide with a relaunch of the channel's news programming.

Natalie Bassingthwaighte (Izzy Hoyland) is set to return to Australian screens in the coming months, as host of the Australian version of the hit US show So You Think You Can Dance.

Auditions for the show are set to begin later this month and, as if that wasn't enough to keep Nat busy, she'll also be promoting the third album from her band, Rogue Traders, which is entitled Better In The Dark and set for Australian release on Saturday.
