"It's very fast moving," Ruffo said about filming for the soap. "I thought Home and Away was quick, but Neighbours was so much quicker.
"You can't mess around, they were such professionals. I really enjoyed it. It's just Australian royalty, those two shows [Neighbours and Home and Away]. It was such an incredible experience and now I'm fortunate to have been on both shows."
As well as both Aussie soaps, Ruffo has appeared on the Antipodean versions of The X Factor and Dancing with the Stars.
