Home and Away's Ruby Buckton will be rushed to hospital in an upcoming episode as her life continues to spiral out of control.

The teenager needs emergency medical attention after being found unconscious in her new caravan in scenes soon to air in Australia.

Ruby, who was diagnosed with diabetes in 2009, pays the price for drinking heavily and refusing to eat in the aftermath of her mum Charlie's death.

Rebecca Breeds, who plays Ruby, told TV Week: "She feels like she's got nothing to lose.

"The drinking is self-destructive behaviour because she doesn't want to feel the pain."

In the aftermath of the scare, a concerned Roo Stewart (Georgie Parker) invites Ruby to stay with her at the Summer Bay House to help get her life back on track - leaving Ruby with a decision to make.

Home and Away airs these scenes next week on Network Seven in Australia and mid-March on Channel 5 in the UK.
