From her Heartbreak High days to the years she’s spent starring on Home And Away as Leah Patterson, we know Ada Nicodemou has been on TV for longer than most.

Yet, we still can’t manage to wrap our minds around the fact the actress is turning 44 years old today.

We demand to know her secrets, because she looks absolutely ageless.

Youthful appearance aside, the mother-of-one has become such a beloved part of Home And Away, there was no doubt she would be flooded with well-wishes on her special day.

And, the beautiful birthday messages from her co-stars show just how much she is cherished on set.

Naturally, the official Home And Away page kicked off the messages, sharing: “Hip hip hooray! Today we’re celebrating @adanicodemou’s Birthday! 🎈🎉🍾.”

Book club buddy, co-star and Ada’s H&A bestie, Lynne McGranger, also shared a gushing tribute to her close friend.

“HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS to this Force of Nature – my dear friend, confidante, ray of sunshine, belly laugh buddy and all round fabulous human being @adanicodemou. Have and amazing day, hope your boys spoil you, love you loads and see you soon 🥂🎂🌷🎁👍🏼☺️💕😍”

Ada and Lynne started a book club together during the lock down last year.

This was quickly followed by an equally emotive message from Emily Symons, who plays Marilyn on the show.
