Neighbours' Bonnie Anderson has finished filming her final scenes.

The Bea Nilsson star, who announced her exit from the Ramsay Street soap a couple of weeks ago, shared a behind-the-scenes picture on Instagram on her last day.

"End of an era," she captioned the post. "This dressing gown has kept me warm for three and a half years."

Many of her co-stars also left sweet messages, with Zima Anderson (Roxy Willis) and Ben Hall (Ned Willis) among those wishing her well on their Instagram Stories.

Meanwhile, Takaya Honda (David Tanaka) wrote on social media: "I can't believe this wonderful human being is leaving us at @neighbours! I have so much love for you @bonnieandersonmusic and am so excited for your next steps."

Bonnie's final scenes are expected to air over the next few months.

Explaining her decision to leave, she said that she was looking forward to focusing more on music and new acting projects, adding: "I don't want to stick with just one thing. I am ready to spread my wings. I am ready to fly."

She also described the soap as a life-changing experience.

"[It] really changed my life for the better in so, so many ways," she explained. "I feel like at the age I was, 23, when I joined the show, it has really shaped me into the person that I am today."

No details have been shared yet over how the character will exit, but it does seem like Bea and Levi's blossoming relationship will have to come to an end.

Bea's most recent major storyline saw her hospitalised after eating a poisoned pie containing death cap mushrooms.

Bonnie isn't the only star leaving, with Sharon Johal (Dipi Rebecchi) also announcing her exit in recent weeks.

Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
