Home And Away’s Xander Delaney has set pulses racing since he arrived in Summer Bay.
The hunky character made his debut on the show on Wednesday (May 4) as he turned up to seek out his half-sister Jasmine Delaney.
Actor Luke Van Os has joined the cast alongside fellow new co-star Kirsty Marillier who has taken up the role of sibling Rose Delaney.
The pair have been seen turning up to get to know their estranged sister after their father passed away and they found out she existed via a will reading.
In real life, Luke’s family life isn’t quite so complicated – but it is still pretty exciting thanks to his very famous cousins.

Luke, 25, is no stranger to famous faces thanks to his cousins who just happen to be Hollywood stars Chris and Liam Hemsworth.
The actors are linked through Luke’s dad Robert whose sister Leonie is Chris and Liam’s mum.
Chris kick-started his own career with a stint starring on Home And Away as Kim Hyde between 2004-2007.
Luke has previously explained how the pair have supported him in his dream of being an actor and provided some sage advice.

He said: “Chris is in LA, but he watched my interviews on The Morning Show and Sunrise. I spoke to him right before because I was so nervous.”
He also explained how Chris is excited for him to follow in his footsteps with the soap role.
He added: “He loves it. He has been through everything I am going through now so for him to share that experience I think is really exciting.”
Luke also admitted that Liam has “been a huge support” too and helped to support him in his dreams.

He said: “This industry is so tricky and can be so hard to navigate so to have any sort of solid advice from anyone who has been through it is such a blessing.”
When asked what advice Liam has passed on he revealed: “Just be calm. And embrace it, know that the nerves never go away, it is becoming comfortable with the nerves as opposed to fearing them.
“Embrace it and know that it is a comfortable place to be. Just be yourself, don’t try and be anything you are not.”
