Tegan's tips for new Home and Away star Sam

As Sam Frost prepares for her acting debut on Home and Away, model Tegan Martin has some tips on how the Bachelorette can feel at home in Summer Bay.

The 24-year-old former Miss Universe Australia, who played feisty Ivana on the Channel Seven soap back in 2015, says Sam is perfect for the Logie award-winning drama, and with some 'memory muscle' practice, she'll have the dramatic dialogue down pat in no time.

"I think Sam will be great! She's seems so down-to-earth and fun and that's exactly the vibe of the crew," Tegan tells Be.

"I would tell Sam to just be her awesome self on set and of course start working on that memory muscle!" she continues.

"My coach and I have done some great exercises over the years to help with my memory. There are a lot of lines to remember on these shows. People don't realise the work that goes on behind the scenes!"

This morning Channel Seven confirmed that 28-year-old Sam, rumoured to be dating Dave Bashford, will be joining the cast of Home and Away.

"Homeand Away is a show I grew up watching with my family,” Australia's first Bachelorette star said in a statement released by the network.

"To become part of this iconic television show is a real honour, I can't wait to start shooting," he added.

Julie McGauran, Seven’s Head of Drama also said: "Sam exudes a genuine warmth and kindness. Her natural ease in front of the camera makes her a wonderful addition to the Home and Away family".

Two years on, the pageant princess has fond memories of being on set, telling Be: "Working on set with Ray [Meagher] and Lynne [McGranger], two of the veterans, was a dream come true for me. My mum and I have watched Home and Away since I was little.

"Who knows, you may find me on set again one day," she adds.
