Actress Kym Valentine has confirmed that she is returning to 'Neighbours'.
The actress, who played Libby Kennedy in the Australian soap, left the show in 2004 to star in a stage production of 'Dirty Dancing'.
Valentine reportedly told Australian newspaper Sunday Herald Sun: "I am hugely loyal to the show and I'm ready to go back and do what I love."
"Physically and mentally I needed a rest. I discovered I had a hernia in my stomach when I was doing the Sydney season," she said.
"When I went to hospital after the tour they found I had three hernias," the actress said.
