Radovich’s announcement was met with messages of congratulations from his former co-stars, with Brody Morgan actor Jackson Heywood writing: "Congratulations you bloody beautiful legends!!! So happy for ya!"

Sam Frost, who played Jasmine Delaney on the soap until 2022, also commented, writing: "This is incredible news, congratulations beautiful humans xxxxx."

Radovich, who departed the soap in 2022 after five years in the role, spoke about his sexuality in an interview last year, revealing that he came out to his family before joining the soap in 2017.

"I definitely think when I was in my young twenties, I was still discovering myself and that now I feel comfortable enough to be able to talk about it,” he said. "The last five years have been quite a big journey for me.

"One, because of the show, but also coming into my own sense of self, just being comfortable I guess. I am quite a shy person by nature, quite introverted, so it takes a while for me to warm up to talking about things.

"And then after that it just wasn't an issue. [Liam] is actually the first person I introduced [to] my parents; that was my way of telling them."
