Ada Nicodemou posts throwback snap on Instagram

She’s best known as a long-standing resident of the fictitious Summer Bay, appearing on Australian soap Home And Away since 2000.

But the 40-year-old actually earned her breakthrough role in the 90s TV show Heartbreak High.

The lovable Greek Cypriot-born Australian actress has become a fixture on Australian screens for the past 23 years, but would you recognise a photo of the star in her youth?

Guess who! She’s the Greek-born actress who is a favourite on an Australian soap… but can YOU identify the TV star from this childhood snap?

She shared a throwback picture of herself as a fresh-faced youngster sporting a very heavy fringe and bob.

The mystery brunette has since gone on to win Dancing With The Stars in 2005 and has been nominated for a Logie five times.

She’s best known for her role as Leah Patterson-Baker on Home And Away and has hosted reality series Please Marry My Boy in the past.

REVEALED: The little girl smiling broadly for the camera in the flashback is none other than Ada Nicodemou!
