*Home and Away* star Ada Nicodemou sent fans into a frenzy by sharing
a hilarious throwback photo featuring her unexpected stunt double. On Friday,
Ada posted an image of herself posing with her stunt double—a muscular male performer—
on the set of *Home and Away*. The two are seen wearing matching red tops and black pants, set against a scenic natural backdrop. Ada’s petite frame was hilariously contrasted with her towering stunt double, who boasted a much larger and more muscular physique.
Both Ada and her stunt double sport shoulder-length brunette hair, making for an amusing side-by-side comparison. “Throwback to the time when this absolute legend played Leah’s stunt double,” she captioned the post, adding humorously, “I’m the one on the right if you got confused!”
The post quickly garnered attention from Ada’s celebrity friends, with many commenting on the humor of the situation. *The Wiggles* star Greg Page joked, “The best part is no one noticed when it aired,” while her *Home and Away* co-star Lynne McGranger added a laughing emoji to the mix.
Ada has played Leah Patterson-Baker on the long-running soap since 2000, and in July, she opened up about her real-life romance with co-star James Stewart, who plays Justin Morgan. While their on-screen relationship has had its share of drama—Leah has been kidnapped multiple times, and once even threatened Justin with a knife—Ada confirmed that their off-screen bond is much happier and far less eventful.
“We’re definitely happier in real life. Our characters have gone through so much, but in real life, we’re really quite boring,” she laughed. The two actors have known each other since 1998 and started working together on *Home and Away* in 2016 when Stewart joined the cast.
