Ada Nicodemou reveals her very unlikely Home and Away stunt double

 Ada Nicodemou sent her fans wild on Friday by sharing a hilarious throwback photo of her posing with her muscular male stunt double on the set of Home and Away.

In the picture, the actress and the stuntman posed in similar red tops and black pants against a scenic nature background.

Ada's petite frame was dwarfed by the large and muscular stunt performer, who towered over her as they beamed for the camera. 

The soap star and her fit colleague both sported shoulder-length brunette hair.

'Throwback to the time when this absolute legend played Leah's stunt double,' she wrote in the caption.

'I'm the one on the right if you got confused.'

Many of Ada's celebrity friends quickly took to the comment section to express their amusement over the post.

'The best part is no one noticed when it went to air?' quipped The Wiggles star Greg Page, while Ada's Home and Away co-star Lynne McGranger posted a laughing emoji.

Ada has played Leah Patterson-Baker on the long-running Channel Seven soap opera since 2000.

In July, Ada revealed the differences between her real-life relationship with co-star James Stewart and their on-screen romance.

The pair were first linked earlier this year when they were seen sharing a kiss on Anzac Day.

Last month, Ada finally broke her silence on their romance.

The veteran actress, told 2Day FM's Hughesy, Ed and Erin her off-screen relationship with Stewart, 48, was much 'happier' than their soap opera one.

We are definitely happier in real-life! Do you know what [our characters] Leah and Justin have gone through?' Ada began. 

'Leah's been kidnapped so many times and she threatened Justin with a knife! In real-life, we are really boring.'

The pair have known each other since 1998 when they co-starred on the short-lived Channel Ten soap opera Breakers, and started appearing together on Home and Away in 2016, when Stewart joined the series.
