Abigail Anne Tucker (born January 22, , 1973 ) is an Australia n Singer-songwriter and actress, who is best known for her acting roles in shows such as '' Heartbreak High '' and '' The Secret Life Of Us ''. She came to public attention as a contestant in the Australia n version of '' New Faces '' in the early 1990s and soon after landed a role in the Spin-off from Australia n film '' The Heartbreak Kid - Heartbreak High ''. Pursuing acting was possibly to gain international recognition, from which to launch a worldwide singing career, which had worked for Kylie Minogue , Jason Donovan et al, and one that would be copied by Laura Vasquez , Natalie Imbruglia and Tammin Sursok . In fact both '' Heartbreak High '' and a subsequent role in '' The Secret Life Of Us '' gave Abi the exposure as a singer with slots not only on the show plus tracks on Spin-off CD s. However, unlike Kylie , Abi has not scored any big hits in the United Kingdom or North America and it was not until 2003 that her debut album ''Dreamworld'' was released. Not a musician afraid to experiment with her sound, she tried out a heavier rock style, forming short-lived band ''Bully'' during the late 1990s whilst living in the UK. Abi is well known as a live music performer in Sydney whilst her songs have also appeared on '' The Secret Life Of Us '' album as well on the soundtrack to the movie ''Angst'' (in which she plays the part of May). She also contributed backing vocals to some songs on David McCormack 's debut solo album, ''Candy'' in 2002. Abi appeared in the play ''Breakfast with Jonny Wilkinson '' at the 2006 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In 2007, Abi will join the cast of the rural TV drama series '' McLeod's Daughters ''. She will play the character Grace Kingston McLeod . REFERENCES
