Smith,28, had been lying low in New York, but made his first appearance on social media yesterday to announce his return to Australia. He posted a picture (right) of himself and Willis and said: "It's great to be back home in Australia. The amount of emails and letters I have received has been incredible and I have been extremely humbled by the enormous amount of support you have given me.

"I now have a lot to do to earn back your trust. To my Mum, Dad and Dani, you have been my rock through this and I can't thank you enough. Family is the most important thing in the world and I thank you for your love and support," Smith wrote.
