Channel 5 bosses have announced that their Home and Away 'Bay Reporter' specials will air next month.
Earlier this year, station chiefs launched a search for an aspiring TV host who would fly out to Sydney, Australia to present two behind-the-scenes documentaries about the Summer Bay drama.
Joanna Adeyinka-Burford was later chosen as the winner in a public vote and she filmed the fanzine programmes back in the summer, chatting to cast members backstage and on location.
Pictured: Joanna Adeyinka-Burford with Ada Nicodemou and Josh Quong Tart.
Highlights of the shows will include River Boy stars Steve Peacocke (Brax) and Dan Ewing (Heath) going head-to-head in a special challenge, Axle Whitehead (Liam) performing one of his favourite rock songs, and David Jones-Roberts (Xavier) and Charles Cottier (Dex) taking on a challenge of their own in the battle for April's affections.
Other cast members who will feature include Luke Mitchell (Romeo), Ada Nicodemou (Leah), Josh Quong Tart (Miles), Ray Meagher (Alf), Lynne McGranger (Irene), Esther Anderson (Charlie) and Lisa Gormley (Bianca), answering viewer questions and offering a sneak peek backstage.
Home and Away's 'Bay Reporter' shows air on Thursday, December 1 and Friday, December 2 at 6.25pm on Channel 5.
