We wish we could say we’re more surprised by this latest news…but we’re not!

Mikey was once a regular extra in Summer Bay.

Speaking to TV Week, Mikey said his short stint on the Aussie soap happened when he was around 20 years old.

“They’d say, ‘We need four or five people in the diner scene,’ so you’d do that,” he remembers.

According to Mikey, he even got the chance to say a few lines during a hospital scene.

“There was a big argument between two people and I was supposed to say, ‘Oh, hey guys, I’m the one that’s sick,’ or something like that.”

The reality star admitted he had hopes of joining the cast of Home And Away in a permanent role one day.

“When I was younger, that’s what I wanted to do. I was like, ‘That’s the show that I want to be on.’ But it never eventuated.”

Ut’s no secret that Mikey is desperate to make it as a star. Not only did he made an appearance on Deal or No Deal in 2015, but he also had a part on Friday on My Mind, an ABC miniseries about Australian rock band The Easybeats, in which he played a background character.
