Ruffo too busy for Christmas visit
Johnny Ruffo's hectic schedule means he probably won't be able to make it back to Perth for Christmas.
Ruffo, left, told AAA Weekend his schedule was jam-packed at the moment, including a performance at the annual Carols in the Domain in Sydney at the weekend.
"If I can't be there, I am going to send Christmas presents back," he said.
"I have bought presents for my mum, my brother, my sister and my dad, and if I can't make it back, which is likely, I will have to express post their gifts.
"It is hard. To come back to Perth I need at least four days off. If I get two days off, I just won't get to spend any time there.
"My Christmas wish list is to get a day off."
After a huge 2012, which saw him release his platinum debut single On Top and win Dancing with the Stars, the Perth-born-and-raised performer said he had even greater ambitions for next year.
"I have got some plans to head over to the (United) States early next year for a few little bits and pieces," he said.
"I am going to be doing a few things in LA - recording and acting."
After finishing filming his first acting role on Home and Away on Friday, Ruffo said music was still his first love.
"If I had to pick one or the other I would probably pick singing and dancing, but I do love being on screen. I can't get my head off the television box," he said.
Despite multiple romance rumours, including linking the Cleo Bachelor of the Year runner-up to Dannii Minogue and Home and Away co-star Samara Weaving, Ruffo said he was just too busy for a relationship.
"They are all rumours. I wish half of them were true," he laughed.
"It is part of being in this industry - you have to put up with that."
