The actor stars in the long-running Australian soap and he's thrilled to be following in the footsteps of the award-winning star, who previously played Donna Freedman in 'Neighbours'.

Speaking about the advice he's been given by his sister, he told RadioTimes.com: "Margot, like many of my industry-friends or go-to professionals, say a similar thing of work hard, train hard, be kind, grateful, and enjoy the experience.

"It’s always comforting to know that if I ever need her, she’s only a phone call away."

Margot, 31, has become one of Hollywood's most in-demand actresses in recent years.

But Cameron doesn't feel like her success has added any extra pressure for him.

He said: "I’ve been working in and around film sets, behind the camera, since I was in high school and I’ve always studied acting and film since that time as well.

"There’s definitely a strong ‘want’ to do well with my work and grow with my abilities. But no I don’t place pressure on myself regarding her success, only my own expectation that I work hard, pursue what I love and make it meaningful."

Cameron also admitted that it was a surreal experience when he first joined the 'Neighbours' cast.

He explained: "It’s a little surreal when I think about the longevity of the show and what part it played in my own life growing up. However, as a young actor in Australia, you do tend to have an awareness and certainly conversations over a show like 'Neighbours'.

"But to experience it definitely makes you realise that you have to find your feet and hit the ground running. Fortunately, I’m working with some great and talented people, I’ve really loved the experience and what I’ve been able to learn so far."
