Fifi Box Neighbours debut, I’m ‘pinching myself’
FIFI Box has fulfilled a life long dream by landing a television acting role.
The Fox FM breakfast co-host has joined the cast of Neighbours and had her first day on set of the popular soap yesterday.
“I’m so excited and still pinching myself,’’ Box said.
“My 15 year-old self would have auditioned and I never assumed in my wildest dreams that I’d be doing it now. When I heard they had a role I jumped at it. All jokes aside acting was my first love and I loved drama in year 12.”
Box will be playing Brooke Butler, the estranged mother of Xanthe Canning (played by Lilly Van der Meer). Box will have a lot of scenes with Colette Mann who plays Sheila Canning.
“Essentially I’ll be there every day and it’s going to be interesting in terms of balance in my life,’’ Box said.
“I’d love to have a scene with the Kennedys and Dr Karl.”
