Home and Away newcomer Jasmine Delaney will reveal a sad secret as she opens up to Leah Patterson-Baker.

Former Bachelorette star Sam Frost has been cast in the role of Jasmine, who made her first appearance in Australia's 2017 season finale episode last month.

Channel 5 viewers in the UK will see Jasmine's dramatic arrival in March, when she's involved in a terrifying road collision that kills Kat Chapman.

The aftermath will see Jasmine settle into Summer Bay after recovering in hospital – and fans can look forward to her striking up a friendship with Leah.

Jasmine tells Leah that she has an abusive ex-boyfriend who stalked her for months before the accident.

On the night of the crash, Jasmine was trying to flee from her home in fear for her safety. Will Leah be able to give her the support she needs?

Sam told TV Week: "She realises she can trust Leah and it becomes one of the most important friendships she makes in the Bay.

"They're baby steps, but people begin to understand why she's the way she is. It's an interesting journey."
