Home and Away star Esther Anderson has teased her undisclosed role in fellow soap Neighbours.

Fans will of course recognise the star for portraying Charlie Buckton on the seaside-set Australian soap, which she played for five years between 2008 and 2013.

Nearly a decade after her departure, however, she is set to swap Summer Bay for Ramsay Street in a mystery part – and she's teased her appearance in an Instagram post.

Taking to her page, Esther posted a snap of a T-shirt in the window depicting a rainbow, accompanied by the words "everyone is welcome on Ramsay St".

"Thanks for the warm welcome @neighbours," she captioned the post. "Happy I get to play a little part in this iconic show!! #ramsaystreet #celebratingneighbours."

The actress has received a warm reception from some Neighbours stars, with David Tanaka actor Takaya Honda writing a simple "welcome" on her post.

Fellow Home and Away and Neighbours guest star Christie Hayes shared a series of heart and clapping hands emojis.

Digital Spy has reached out to Neighbours for further comment on her role.

Esther joining Neighbours comes following the news that the soap will be ending this summer after 37 years on air, which itself comes after Channel 5's decision to drop the show and the series being unable to find an alternative broadcaster.

The soap has already mapped out an ending, however, and the show has assured fans that it will be "celebratory" rather than tragic.

Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 6pm on Channel 5 and streams on My5. In Australia, the show airs Mondays to Thursdays at 6.30pm on 10 Peach and streams on 10 Play.
