Former Hi-5 star Charli Robinson has returned to TV screens in Amazon Australia’s new holiday movie.

The 41-year-old is set to star in The Playmakers Save The Holidays – a film to raise money for the Starlight Children’s Foundation.

Charli told The Sunday Telegraph she was ready to perform for youngsters after her last gig on Hi-5, 14 years ago.

‘It invigorated me loving working with kids,’ Charli said. 

‘I left recording and I thought, oh my god. I could do this again. I was totally inspired,’ she added.

Charli and Johnny Ruffo will play the voices behind the characters in the animated film.

Charli finished by saying she felt ‘at home’ and it let her ‘spirit soar’ after filming the  project.

Last year, the performer landed a role as a pit reporter for the Repco Supercars Championships, and defended her position as a female in the role.

‘You don’t need anybody telling you that you don’t know about cars and that you don’t know about motorsport because you are female,’ she told Supercars.com.  

‘These women know their stuff. I think coming into the industry, you just need to be strong as a woman and realise people are going to say a lot of crap about you but that is only because they don’t know you.’

She added: ‘I am also a believer of the best person for the job. I am not saying that we need to put women in just to have 50/50 split of men and women.  

Charli is married to V8 Supercars driver Liam Talbot and the couple share two daughters: Theadora, two, and Kensington, three.
