Fans react as Home and Away star Ada Nicodemou shares shock photo

 ‘How did you end up there?’

Home and Away star Ada Nicodemou left fans gobsmacked with an “intense” look behind the scenes of the hit Channel 7 drama.

The 46-year-old posted footage alongside co-star James Stewart, with both appearing bloodied and bruised thanks to realistic-looking makeup.


Their dirty and dishevelled appearance is part of a shocking Home and Away storyline in which they are involved.

Leah (played by Ada) and Justin (played by James) win a fancy holiday and are preparing to have the time of their lives - when they are kidnapped and locked up for days with no water, food or plumbing.

Despite the dramatic story, neither actor could contain their laughter behind the scenes when the cameras were not rolling.

“Well, another one bites the dust,” Ada said in the video, which she posted on Thursday.

“Just thought I’d share some fun BTS clips of tonight’s crazy episodes 😂 It’s on now so tune in to @channel7 🙏🏼,” she captioned the post.

Fans reacted to the footage, calling the scene “intense”.

Looking like hell,” one remarked about their bruised appearances.

“You two are an incredible actor and actress. ❤️ Had me on the edge of my seat,” a second wrote.


“I missed something, how did you end up there?” one asked.

“Fantastic! Love seeing the behind the scene laughs and then the edge-of-the-seat version on TV,” added another.

The actors spoke with The Morning Show on Thursday about the storyline, with Ada joking that she “hates” the dirt and make-up required for these scenes.

“I’ve said to the writers that’s it, from now on I can only look glamorous,” she joked.


No, but you know, it was really great shooting this because we felt like we were doing a movie because it was just the two of us for weeks on end.”

While on the show, hosts Kylie Gillies and Larry Emdur revealed previously unseen photos of Ada and James as youngsters.

But it was photos of James and his twin brother Nicholas that really proved jaw-dropping.

In one snap, the identical pair could be seen gazing at the camera sporting adorable bowl-cut hairstyles.

Another was of them together as older boys, rocking long hair and striking similar hands-in-the-pocket poses.


“Were you the naughty one or the cool one because there’s always a naughty one,” Larry joked as the photos flashed up.

“Oh, we swapped,” James confessed.

“We always swapped. We blamed each other.”

“Can I just say, most of us go through a dorky phase. I’m not seeing your dorky phase,” Kylie declared as yet another image of James and his brother embracing long hair and a boho vibe appeared on the screen.

“We’re only halfway through the photos,” Larry joked.


That’s when a truly jaw-dropping photo flashed up, which left Kylie visibly stunned.

“You and your brother are twins which people may or may not realise,” Kylie clarified, as she spoke to James.

“But you both have girls and your girls look like twins almost as well. Look at this shot!”

Indeed, the image in question showed James’ daughter with ex Jessica Marais, Scout, posing alongside her cousin Grace, dad and uncle.


“Yeah they’re about 14 months apart. Because (me and Nick) have got the same DNA, the girls have the same DNA in them,” James aid.

“It’s a science thing. Won’t go into it but they look exactly the same don’t they?”

“I saw that photo and I thought ‘wow’. Even growing up, have they always looked similar?”

“Very similar and they are like two peas in a pod,” James admitted.
