Jade a Jewel in TV Crown - Singer to star on Home and Away
Pop singer Samantha Jade is joining Summer Bay.
Having impressed with her first acting outing as Kylie Minogue in the INXS telemovie, Jade will begin filming on Home and Away.
"I'm always asked when I will do more acting & now I am saying yes, I am coming to the Bay," Jade told the Saturday Telegraph.
"It is really exciting. I've wanted to do more acting & I wanted to do something unexpected & different and this is very very different to Kylie (Minogue).
Jade, 28, will play the character of Isla but is sworn to secrecy on details of the role as her scenes will not premiere on Seven until early next year.
"I can't say too much but I can say she comes to the Bay with bad intentions. She has a bit of a past & she falls for one of the favourite boys on the show," she said.
Like many Australians, Jade grew up watching H&A, which has been on air for 27 years. And learning lines doesn't intimidate her.
"We have to learn songs all the time, so learning lines doesn't worry me, it is saying the lines without reading them, that's hard. That's what I am nervous about."
Jade won the 2012 season of The X Factor Australia & became one of the country's biggest pop stars.
While not able to divulge too much about her new job, she hinted viewers will see her character appear in a bikini on the world famous beach of Summer Bay.
"Maybe. It is always a bit nerve-racking for a girl (being filmed in swimwear) but if they shoot it right, I'd like them to make me look a bit taller," she said.
Jade will release a new album in October.
"There's lots going on at the moment, which is really exciting", she said.
