Last week Daily Mail Australia broke the news that Sursok had quietly joined the cast of Neighbours 18 years after departing rival soap opera Home And Away.

According to a well-placed industry insider, the Australian actress is set to join the long-running Channel 10 program in a cameo role, and will begin filming in Melbourne soon.   

Tammin will temporarily relocate to Melbourne from her home in Queensland as she completes her six-week filming schedule, which is due to wrap in March.

While the star has yet to formally announce her new role, she’s made no secret of her travel plans to Melbourne. 

This week, Tammin revealed on Instagram that she was preparing to embark upon a 17-hour road trip from Queensland to Melbourne with her film producer husband Sean McEwen, and their daughters Phoenix, eight, and Lennon, two. 

Choosing not to explain the reason for their trip, Tammin simply told fans on Instagram: ‘We have a road trip soon and I’m pretty excited’.
