SHE may have just been nominated for an Oscar, but Aussie star Margot Robbie has revealed she would go back to where it all began on Ramsay Street.

Margot Robbie gains Oscar nod for I, Tonya

MARGOT Robbie could be in line for a sensational return to enduring soap Neighbours despite now being an Oscar-nominated actress.

The 27-year-old achieved a lifelong dream after being put up for the Best Actress gong for her role in ice skating drama I, Tonya.

Speaking to Who magazine, she said: “Yeah, I think I would, totally.

“We could get the whole gang back together. I’d be in.”

Robbie looked stunning as ever as she glammed up on the red carpet of the Sydney premiere for film I, Tonya on earlier this week, reports The Sun.

The blonde beauty channelled screen legend Marilyn Monroe in The Seven Year Itch with her plunging dress for the occasion.

The star recently received a Best Actress BAFTA nomination for her role as Tonya - and is hotly tipped for a gong at the glittering awards ceremony in London next month. She has also been nominated for the Best Actress Oscar.

I, Tonya is a biographical film which follows the career of former figure skater Tonya and her fall from grace.

The film begins with a four-year-old Tonya being forced to ice skate by her mother, who soon takes her child out of school so that she can focus on the sport.

Tonya soon finds love with abusive Jeff Gillooly, who becomes implicated in an attack on Tonya’s rival Nancy Kerrigan prior to the 1994 Winter Olympics.

She soon finds herself in court and her future in the sport is brought into jeopardy.

After proving her talent on Aussie TV, Robbie’s career moved to films.
