Kimberly Cooper returns to 'Home and Away'

Kimberly Cooper has confirmed that she will be returning to Home and Away as Gypsy Nash.

The young actress made her last appearance on the Australian soap in 2002, when her character held a symbolic wedding to Will Smith (Zac Drayson) before moving to Queensland with him and their daughter Lily.

Commenting on her comeback, Cooper revealed that she returned to the show's set last month after moving back to Australia from Los Angeles.

"I left at 21 and now somehow I'm 26," she quipped to Adelaide Now, adding that her return would be "dramatic, in true Gypsy style".

Lynne McGranger, who plays Irene Roberts in Home and Away, previously stated that she would be happy for Gypsy to return.

She stated: "I would love to see Gypsy come back. Kimberley Cooper was always a favourite."
