The Loop presenter Scott Tweedie makes his acting debut on Neighbours this week, and he's not going to be the good guy he is in real life.
Tweedie, co-presenter of Australia's ELEVEN station's Saturday morning music show, will play Elly Conway's ex-boyfriend Derek Meeps on the soap, who pops down to Erinsborough in this one off episode.
And Tweedie himself has admitted that Derek is not going to be a good guy.

"Derek's in his early 30s, he's from Sydney, he's very wealthy, he runs a prestige car sales business," Tweedie told TenPlay.
"He's a bit of a nasty guy. He's a charmer, a bit of a womaniser, and yes, he usually gets what he wants, old Derek.
"As soon as Derek's on camera, there's going to be trouble. I'm sure he can come back and do a lot more damage."
Tweedie will only appear in one episode for now but he says he's definitely up for a return to Ramsey Street, which might be a bit of a downer for Elle's latest love interest, Angus Beaumont-Hannay.

"I was like – 'That's it? Can I do some more?'" he added.
"Fingers crossed I can get heaps of mates and people to watch it and there's a spike in the ratings that night and they're like – you know what? Derek should come back."
Neighbours airs these scenes on Friday, November 18 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.
