Here's a look at Home and Away newcomer Ricky Sharpe, who will soon make her debut on screen as Brax's latest love interest.

As reported earlier this week, actress Bonnie Sveen has taken on the role of Ricky, who turns up in Summer Bay for Heath and Bianca's engagement party.

Ricky is the younger sister of Adam Sharpe and has known Brax since he was a teenager.

Sparks fly when Ricky and Brax come face-to-face again, which quickly leads to a one-night stand between the pair.

Although Ricky is keen to keep this as a casual fling, Brax is looking for something more serious and holds out hope that she'll stop pushing him away.

Brax's ex-girlfriend Natalie Davison (Catherine Mack) also encourages him to make a go of things with Ricky.

As Brax starts making some progress with Ricky, she brings out a playful side of his personality which viewers haven't seen for a while - but can the fun times ever last for long in Summer Bay?

Steve Peacocke, who plays Brax, recently said: "Ricky is a ball of energy and she takes Brax back to a happier time, when life was a bit simpler.

"It's just whether Ricky's past will get in the way, because she does have one - and it's pretty intense."

Home and Away airs Ricky's first scenes next week on Network Seven in Australia, and late April on Channel 5 in the UK.

Home and Away newcomer Bonnie Sveen has revealed that her character Ricky is hiding a secret.

Sveen, who plays Brax's (Steve Peacocke) new love interest Ricky, has revealed that her alter ego has been cautious about developing a relationship because of it.

Speaking to TV Week, Sveen said: "She's hiding a big secret. She's very cautious about developing a relationship with Brax because of it.

"It's been rewarding to let off some steam and hook up with him, but she's very aware that he has feelings for her and this is inevitably going to lead to a difficult situation."

Whilst Sveen is keeping quiet about what Ricky's secret is, she does admit that there will be 'tumultuous times' ahead for Ricky and Brax.

"It's more about whether their relationship can survive and the dangers she might bring to his life if she does open up to him.

"It's going to be a really interesting ride ahead, full of colour, and what I've really enjoyed about Ricky's arrival is bringing out some lightness with Brax.

"I can see the joy that she is bringing him."

Also ahead on Home and Away, UK fans get their first glimpse of Brax's new love interest Ricky Sharpe later this month.

Ricky (Bonnie Sveen) is Adam's little sister, who arrives in the Bay just in time for Heath and Bianca's engagement party.

Brax (Steve Peacocke) is pleased to see Ricky and it's clear that they share a history of unresolved sexual tension.

Taking Ricky back to the share house, Brax gets intimate with her but she is keen to clarify that it's only a casual hook-up. With Brax's feelings appearing stronger than that, can he make any progress with her?

Home and Away's Ricky Sharpe pays the price for turning against her ruthless brother Adam on UK screens later this month.

Ricky (Bonnie Sveen) has been helping Adam in his vengeful schemes against the Braxton family, but when their efforts lead to Casey being framed for armed robbery, she realises that it's gone too far.

Although Ricky repeatedly begs Adam (Martin Lynes) to drop his vendetta against Brax, she is left frustrated as he refuses to back down.

To make matters worse, Adam warns of dire consequences for both Ricky and Brax if she abandons their plan now…
