COR, what a beaut!

Aussie stunner Stephanie McIntosh aims to give her solo career a kickstart when she visits Hampshire radio station Power FM on Tuesday.

The visit from the actress-cum-singer, better known as Sky Mangel from legendary soap Neighbours, comes ahead of the launch of her debut album Tightrope.

Th 21-year-old has already taken the charts by storm in her native Australia and is hoping to mirror the success in the UK.

And she's got every chance of doing just that - Stephanie's half-brother is none other than Aussie pop hero Jason Donovan.

What's more, she's the latest in a long list of Neighbours stars - including Kylie Minogue, Natalie Imbruglia and Delta Goodrem - to successfully make the jump from television to singing.

While she is in the county Stephanie could even retrace the steps of Fareham's famous Neighbours son - show stalwart Tom Oliver a.k.a. Lou Carpenter, who was born in the town.

Stephanie will be showcasing tunes from Tightrope including debut single Mistake, which reached number three in the Australian charts.

The single will be available for download from June 18 followed by the album on July 2.
