She won the coveted Dancing With The Stars mirror ball trophy in 2005 with her dance partner Aric Yegudkin.

And now, Home And Away favourite Ada Nicodemou has been announced as the first official celeb returning to the dance floor in the highly anticipated Dancing With The Stars: All Stars edition.

In a sentimental touch, Ada Nicodemou will be reunited with her original dance partner Aric from 16 years ago!

An estatic Ada took to Instagram on Sunday to address the exciting news, writing alongside a slew of retro throwback pics: “Who would’ve thought that 16 years later I’d put putting my dancing shoes back on. My original dance-partner and i @aricyegudkin are doing @dancingau again!!! 💃🏼🕺🏻.”

“We are beyond excited and can’t wait to find out who the rest of the cast is. Don’t you love the old shots? Made me both laugh and cringe 😬 🤣 #dancingwiththestars @channel7.”

Ada and Aric were the season three champs back in 2005, beating Chris Bath and Ian “Dicko” Dickson for the top spot.

The powerhouse duo also went on to claim the “Champion of Champions” title that year in a friendly face off against season two champions Tom Williams and Kym Johnson.

She’s back! Ada is set to star on the highly anticipated All Stars season of DWTS with her original partner Aric Yegudkin.
