'H&A' star Breeds thrilled by Logie nod

Home and Away star Rebecca Breeds has admitted that she is feeling "really encouraged" following her recent Logie nod.

The 21-year-old, who plays Summer Bay's Ruby Buckton, is in the running for this year's 'Most Popular Actress' prize alongside co-stars Esther Anderson (Charlie Buckton) and Jessica Tovey (Belle Taylor).

Speaking to TV Week about the recognition, Breeds commented: "I'm stoked. I'm really surprised about it and really encouraged, because I haven't known how people feel about me and my character.

"To know that people like Ruby makes me think I'm doing a good job."

Packed To The Rafters stars Rebecca Gibney and Jessica Marais have also been nominated for the gong.

The Logie Awards will be held in Melbourne on May 2.
