Home and Away star Ada Nicodemou defends boob job

Home and Away’s Ada Nicodemou has hit out at criticism she looks “fake”, defending her choice to undergo cosmetic surgery.

Ada Nicodemou has taken to social media to defend her decision to have a breast augmentation and deliver a stinging rebuke to her critics.

The Home and Away star, who is currently holidaying in the Maldives with her partner Adam Rigby, posted a series of stunning bikini photos from their couples retreat.

Fans of the actress (who became famous in her role as Leah on the long-running show) were quick to comment on her toned physique, with one Instagram user writing: “Look at Leah … What the?”

Another said she looked “fake”.

Nicodemou, 41, chose to respond to those speculating on whether she’d had “work done”, taking aim at users posting “body shaming” comments.

“Thank you both for your comments and I appreciate that everyone has a right to an opinion but have you stopped to think what example this gives to other girls and young women about body shaming and tearing down other women?” she wrote.

“This is where cyber bullying begins. And btw I don’t use fillers and I rarely use Botox and the only surgery that I’ve done as is ‘fake’ is breast augmentation which I have every right to do. Maybe think before you post next time.”

The mother of one has previously never spoken publicly about her decision to undergo breast augmentation surgery and Botox injections, however last year she told Daily Mail Australia that she was not opposed to cosmetic surgery on principle.

These days, she attributes her phenomenal figure to regular exercise and the Keto Diet, which focuses on burning fat not carbohydrates.

“I’m so proud of myself,” she told Who magazine in May 2018. “I’ve got the best body I’ve ever had.

“I feel stronger and my shape has changed … my waist is smaller, my legs and arms have more shape and my booty has lifted — which was one of my goals.”

The popular Aussie star was previously married to Chrys Xipolitas and shares son Johnas, 6, with him. She has been dating businessman Adam Rigby since 2016.

“I’m no longer sweating the small stuff. I’m more comfortable in my skin, I know more and I’m happy to say more,” she said.
