Neighbours newcomer Naomi Canning could test one of the show's established relationships when she joins Ramsay Street, Digital Spy can reveal.

Late last year, it was announced that actress Morgana O'Reilly has been cast in the role of Naomi, who is Sheila's estranged daughter.

Naomi will be a new minx for the long-running soap and will shake up life in Erinsborough with some controversial behaviour.

When Naomi arrives on the street, she already has a history of relationships with unavailable men.

Once she settles in, it quickly becomes clear that Naomi hasn't learned any lessons from her past mistakes when she sets her sights on a married guy who lives on the street.

Fans know that Brad Willis, Toadie Rebecchi, Matt Turner and Karl Kennedy are the possibilities from the show's regular cast.

Ryan Moloney, who plays Toadie, has previously teased that his character could be tempted by another woman this year - but fans will have to wait and see whether he is the guy in question.

Moloney said last month: "One of Toadie's strengths comes from his integrity and standing up for what is right. I think cheating is the last thing he would do, but what a fall from grace it would be if he ever did! Besides, Neighbours is a soap, after all, and things have got to stay interesting - so there might be a hint of an affair somewhere..."

Naomi arrives on screen in Australia later this month and will appear on Channel 5 in the UK from early April.

A Neighbours insider told Digital Spy: "The producers were keen to introduce an Izzy Hoyland-style character who would stir up life in the neighbourhood. Naomi has a lot of issues to work through with Sheila, but it'll be her attitude towards men and relationships that will really get people talking."

Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 in the UK, and weekdays at 6.30pm on Eleven in Australia.
