Neighbours star Sam Clark will perform his second single on the show, where his alter ego will dedicate it to the late Bridget Napier. In character as Ringo Brown, Sam will play Send Me A Sign as a tribute to Bridget, (Eloise Mignon), a Ramsay Street teen who died after a car crash last year. Sam told the Herald Sun: "I'm rapt to be performing on the show because the song fits so well with the storyline." The actor took a three-month break from the soap to focus on his music career and is now back on set. During his time away, he toured Australian promoting debut single Broken, which topped the ARIA physical singles chart despite not getting any radio play. His second release will be featured on Aussie screens to coincide with its launch in May. Click here to watch whatsontv.co.uk's weekly soaps video preview, the Soap Scoop
