April shared several videos of the band hard at work on the Neighbours set at Nunawading Studios in Melbourne.

In one clip, she jokes, ‘We have some extras on today! I don’t know if you’ve heard of them!’ before panning the camera to brothers Isaac, Taylor, and Zac Hanson.

‘We’re about to go on strike as we feel we’re not being paid appropriately for this appearance,’ Taylor joked in deadpan.
