The actress revealed that her final scenes on the Australian soap are expected to air in mid-2021, but no information has yet been provided about her exit storyline.

"I was like a pig in mud at that place," she told Sunday Herald Sun of her time on the show . "Neighbours really changed my life for the better in so, so many ways. 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."

She added: "I have overcome a lot, I have grown and I am proud of the way I live my life. It was really good to have that structure and now after three and a half years on that show I have decided it is time for me to continue challenging myself and create space to focus on my music and songwriting and more acting."

The star has her sights set on writing some new songs, following her exit from Ramsay Street, revealing that she wants to try "different things" in the future.
