Neighbours
Role For UK Teen
A teenager from Essex has won a competition offering a part
in the Australian soap Neighbours.
Gabriella Darlington, 18, will guest star as Poppy Rogers in the
long-running show after winning Five's Be A Star On Neighbours contest.
The Essex student will start filming her four-week stint on Monday.
"I can't believe how lucky I am. I never expected to be shortlisted, let
alone get to Australia and win," she said.
Producer Neal Kingston said casting decisions were made because Darlington
"ticked all the of the boxes".
She beat 1,600 hopefuls to the prize, and has spent the last week in
Melbourne with the cast and crew, visiting the set and being screen tested.
"I have had an amazing week and am really excited to start on Monday," she
said.
Darlington, who has no previous acting experience, will appear on UK screens
from 10 November.
A special programme documenting her visit to the set with another finalist
will be broadcast the same week.
