Vivean Gray, best known for playing the gossipy Mrs Mangel in Australian soap opera Neighbours, has died aged 92.

Born Jean Vivra Gray in 1924, the Cleethorpes native moved to Australia in 1952 to pursue an acting career.

She went on to appear in shows such as The Sullivans and Prisoner Cell Block H, before landing her best-known role as Ramsay Street's resident busybody.

Mark Little, who played her on-screen son Joe, said he had been "privileged to know and work with her".

"We laughed a lot creating The Mangel Dynasty," the comedian and actor said on Twitter.
