Matt Shirvington joins the cast of Home and Away
Sunrise host Matt Shirvington has secured a role in one of Australia's iconic shows, Home and Away.
The former Olympian turned TV presenter has secretly been filming scenes for the show, which will air some time next year.
According to 7News, Shirvington will be playing himself and recently shot a few scenes at Sydney's iconic Palm Beach.
“As a kid who grew up watching Home and Away, it was all a bit surreal to be in Summer Bay with Alf Stewart!” he told the publication.
“What a fun experience. The entire cast and crew were so welcoming and generous with acting tips and advice for this novice.
“I think this will be one of those things my kids are never going to let me live down!”
Although the storyline is still being kept a secret, viewers can expect to see the former athlete in “scenes which will air later next year”.
The official Instagram page for Home and Away also teased Shirvington's appearance on the show.
"Look who’s coming to Summer Bay in 2024 👀 ☀️" they captioned a photo of him at the beach with Ray Meagher, who plays Alf Stewart.
Shirvington has been booked and busy this year, after replacing David Koch as Sunrise host alongside Nat Barr back in June.
