“Neighbours really changed my life for the better in so, so many ways,” she told the publication.
“I feel like at the age I was, 23, when I joined the show it has really shaped me into the person that I am today.
“I have overcome a lot, I have grown and I am proud of the way I live my life.
“It was really good to have that structure and now after three and a half years on that show I have decided it is time for me to continue challenging myself and create space to focus on my music and songwriting and more acting.”
Bonnie played Bea, Jodi Gordon’s character Elly’s long lost sister.

“I am ready to spread my wings. I am ready to fly.
“First up it is going to be nice to get into the studio and write some songs and put them out there.”
