Ada Nicodemou doesn't look like this anymore! Home and Away star reveals her very puffy visage as fans ask 'What have you done to your face?'
The Home and Away star, 48, took to Instagram on Thursday to share a series of loved-up photos with her beau and co-star, James Stewart, 49, on a romantic weekend away.
The couple looked very chuffed to be in each other's company on their whistle-stop holiday on the New South Wales South Coast.
'A well earned weekend away after working extremely hard for the last few weeks (on top of being really sick with influenza),' Ada captioned the romantic photos.
However, it wasn't the tranquil rural scenes, or the couple's palpable affection, that captured some fans' attention.

One eagle-eyed fan noticed that Ada was sporting a much puffier visage than Home and Away fans have come to know over her 25-year stint on the long-running soap.
'What have you done to your face?' the follower questioned, while another jumped in suggesting that Ada may have recently had cosmetic surgery.
'Yes, what work have you had to your face?' they asked.
Others, however, were quick to point out how fresh-faced and rested Ada appeared in the photos, after her recent illness.
'Look at those happy faces. Beautiful. I love seeing happy people,' one fan offered.
'Wow, looking very refreshed,' another swooned, while a third offered a similar: 'That's lovely. You look both happy and relaxed.'
The post comes after claims emerged, back in 2018, that Ada had undergone a 'full body upgrade.'
Speaking to Woman's Day at the time, surgeon Dr Meaghan Heckenberg claimed she believed Ada had 'rhinoplasty, muscle-relaxing injections and dermal fillers'.
'Ada looks like she's had rhinoplasty and probably some muscle-relaxing injections and dermal fillers to give her that fresh look,' Dr Heckenberg said.
'An eyebrow lift can also be achieved by careful placement of muscle-relaxing injections, such as Botox or Dysport. Of course, she benefits from her Mediterranean heritage, so she's got great skin anyway.'
Dr Heckenberg has not treated the actress herself, and Daily Mail Australia contacted Ada for comment at the time of the report.
In 2019, Ada confirmed she had undergone breast augmentation after years of speculation.

Kim Zolciak, 47, strips down to tiny bikini after revealing ALL the plastic surgery she has had done
Kim Zolciak took to Instagram Stories on Sunday to show off her figure in a stringy black bikini. The 47-year-old mother-of-six — who just detailed all her cosmetic surgeries — posed in a close-up mirror selfie revealing her busty chest as she modeled a triangle top with tiny white bow accents. The former Real Housewives of Atlanta star showed off her slim waistline in the swimwear's matching thong bottoms. Her long blonde hair was thrown into a carefree updo as she wrote, 'Suit on... on the way out the door to get a little sun then [rain emoji].' She rocked an almond-shaped French manicure and wore rectangular black-rimmed eyeglasses in the picture. Zolciak appeared on a recent episode of Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind. She and her 28-year-old firstborn daughter Brielle spoke candidly about going under the knife to change their appearance. Kim listed multiple procedures, including the 'mommy makeover' she underwent in 2014, which consisted of a tummy tuck and a breast lift. 'I've done my boobs a few times. Then I had a tummy tuck. I did have filler in my lip. I do Botox all the time,' she said. In addition to Brielle, she is also mother to Ariana, 23, Kroy Jr., 13, Kash, 12, and twins Kaia and Kane, 11, whom she shares with estranged husband Kroy Biermann. 'I sacrificed my body for six incredible humans, so I did a mommy makeover. Just because you're a mom doesn't mean you have to let yourself go,' she explained of her decision to surgically enhance her figure. Kim also shared that she used Ultatherapy, a non-surgical treatment that performs a lift and tightening on the skin, to shape her jaw. She also divulged her non-cosmetic medical history, sharing that she addressed a herniated disc with a neck surgery. However she made no mention of her 'laser vaginal rejuvenation,' which she underwent in 2023 amid her divorce and her reported money problems. Kim disclosed that her reason for going on the Botched spin-off was that she had been hoping 'to go under the skin and tighten it up' with a contouring procedure that ended up having the 'opposite' effect of the one intended. Explaining the thinking behind her extensive surgeries, she said: 'My mom always said growing up, if I had really big ears or a really big nose that bothered me or whatever it may have been, she would have fixed it.' Kim, who had Brielle and Ariana while in previous relationships before they were adopted by Kroy, added: 'I've always kind of said the same thing to my girls.'

Irresponsible Isla Fisher is in cloud-cuckoo land thinking women don't need marriage – here's why we MUST tie the knot
Isla's cheeky 'don't bother with marriage ladies' is tone-deaf and irresponsible... most women won't have the same post-divorce freedom as her 'TONE-DEAF' Irresponsible Isla Fisher is in cloud-cuckoo land thinking women don't need marriage – here's why we MUST tie the knot ISLA Fisher is in cloud-cuckoo land when she tells women not to bother with marriage. In the wake of finalising her divorce from the comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, she re-posted this on Instagram: For all the men who say, 'why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?' 5 Isla Fisher has finalised her divorce from comedian Sacha Baron Cohen Credit: Getty 5 Isla is in cloud-cuckoo land when she tells women not to bother with marriage, says Emma Wolf Credit: Getty Here's an update for you: 'Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realise it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage.' She's funny, I'll give her that. Fisher's post was branded 'savage' but telling women not to bother getting married is also reckless, irresponsible and out of touch. For the majority of women with children, marriage is a safety net and an essential aspect of financial security for them and their kid's future. Isla Fisher is clearly bouncing back after the breakdown of her marriage and feeling cheerful enough to post devil-may-care statements. Whether her sausage-and-pig quip was a light-hearted joke or a savage dig at her ex-husband's manhood (as some have suggested) who knows. Last week when both Fisher and Baron-Cohen were photographed at Wimbledon, attending separately and narrowly avoiding an awkward public run-in, she was relaxed enough to cheekily tag him on social media: 'Hang on? Who's watching the kids? @sachabaroncohen' The former Home and Away actress is now a movie star in her own right, and for the past 14 years has been married to the millionaire Borat actor and comedian. With or without Baron Cohen, 53, the 49-year-old is financially independent – and will no doubt be even wealthier after the multi-million-dollar divorce settlement. But for most women the breakdown of a relationship looks a lot less rosy. In fact, many remain in unhappy marriages because of the financial upheaval of breaking up a family and the uncertainty of the future. All The signs Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher had secretly split from girls' nights out to hiding ring finger Even pursuing child maintenance after divorce can be stressful, with ex-partners not bothering to make payments to support their children. If you're not married the situation is even bleaker. One of my closest friends has three children under ten with her long-term partner. Like Isla and Sacha, they had been together 14 years and she now finds herself single. After years of suspected infidelity, he recently moved out and has set up home with his new, younger girlfriend. My friend had always wanted to get married, both from a commitment perspective and for financial security, but he wasn't keen. They bought a house together, lived together, had three children together, but never made it legal. 'Now I'm left high and dry,' she tells me. 'The emotional fallout has been horrendous, but I hadn't realised I'd struggle financially like this. He works, I work – I thought having a double income would help. But I'm bringing up the children and he doesn't contribute a penny. I guess if we were married, I'd have more rights.' She's certainly right there. Both during the marriage and if fate so has it, after divorce, married individuals have better financial security. They are entitled to marriage allowance during the relationship and all sorts of other tax benefits such as avoiding capital gains tax. The childcare costs when you're a working single mother are astronomical Should the marriage end, assets are divided fairly, one half may have a claim to a share of the other's pension, and if one half earns significantly less than the other then he or she could receive spousal maintenance. I'm a single mother and have brought my 4-year-old son up alone since his birth. We've never had a penny in financial support and that's harder than it sounds. Every mortgage instalment, every council tax, water, gas and electricity bill, the Christmas presents, the swimming lessons or football lessons, every aspect of parenting is on my back. 5 With or without Baron Cohen, Isla is financially independent – but for most women the breakdown of a relationship looks less rosy Credit: Getty 5 Her post-divorce settlement with Borat actor Baron Cohen was worth a rumoured $75 million dollars Credit: Getty Tone-deaf The childcare costs when you're a working single mother are astronomical. If you get sick, you can't afford to take time off, because you're the bread-winner. You don't go for drinks out or dinners or date nights because the focus is on making a living and spending time with your child, and anyway getting a babysitter is a luxury! It's my choice. My son's father has never been in our lives. We are a happy (if small) family of two, and the bond I have with my child is incredibly close. But the responsibility is exhausting – knowing that when your child grows up and needs an allowance, or wants to go to the cinema with friends, or when they get to university, the finances will still be all on you. That's why Isla Fisher's cheeky 'don't bother with marriage ladies' strikes me as tone-deaf and irresponsible. Until recently, getting married was very much about security for women. You couldn't risk getting pregnant out of wedlock, you needed the security of your husband's roof and income, and you didn't want the public shame of being an unmarried mother. In fact, until the end of the 19th century, a woman and everything she owned was basically her husband's property. It was only the landmark legislation in 1882 (the Married Women's Property Act) that gave women the right to own, acquire and dispose of their own property. Until recently, getting married was very much about security for women Everything has changed in the past few decades. We've had women's lib, abortion rights, endless equality legislation, birth control, and far less social stigma around cohabiting and sex before marriage. We have far more freedom to forge a career, earn a living and make our own life choices. Unsurprisingly, marriage rates have been in decline. All the signs Isla and Sacha had secretly split The couple have revealed they actually split last year, despite only just revealing their divorce. Here we look at the signs they had already broken up before revealing their split news: Social media silence - Sacha has been absent from Instagram since last Christmas. Spending time with friends - Isla has been been following that classic post break-up move of spending more time with her girlfriends. Hidden ring finger - No fans noticed at the time, but in many Instagram shots from this year, Isla has hidden her right hand so her wedding finger was not visible in many shots. Missing man - The last image Isla shared of her and Sacha prior to the divorce announcement was back in November last year. 'Think about words' In the 1970s, approximately 7 in 10 people over the age of 16 were married, and by 2024 this figure had fallen to around 4 in 10. It's predicted that marriage rates will continue to drop, with only around 3 in 10 people married by 2050. When my friend says she regrets not getting married - she's absolutely right. Although it's a more level playing field than in previous decades, when an unmarried couple separates they don't have the same legal rights to financial support and property division as married couples or those in civil partnerships. The general rule is that each person keeps their own assets, and joint assets are divided, based on ownership and contribution. Some unmarried couples draw up cohabitation agreements, but many do not – they drift into years of living together, raising a family, buying property, and then end up in terrible conflict and financial strife when their relationship ends. The Fisher/Baron Cohen post-divorce settlement was worth a rumoured $75 million dollars but one thing's for sure: they're not short of a few quid. They won't need to argue about who moves out of the family home and who rents nearby – because they own multiple properties and have been living between Perth, Sydney, London and Hollywood. I know countless women who end up renting or sofa surfing with friends or family after divorce. This celeb couple won't be quibbling about who covers the mortgage or the food bills, who buys the children's new shoes or the school uniforms. Life after divorce clearly suits Isla, she's looking radiant and has her mojo back. She and Baron Cohen are amicably co-parenting, declaring 'we remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children'. Whatever ended their marriage, the wounds are healing and Isla is clearly excited about her post-divorce freedom. Nonetheless, she might want to think about her words. Forget 'buying the cow or getting the milk for free' - for us everyday women, the break-up is when the hard work really begins…and sadly, if we haven't bought the pig, we're not entitled to so much as a slice of bacon.
