Ada Nicodemou and James Stewart caught skinny dipping in upcoming Home and Away episode
Ada Nicodemou and James Stewart ditched their swimmers in a racy display for an upcoming episode of Home and Away.
The real-life lovers, who play husband and wife Leah and Justin on the popular TV series, stripped off for a skinny dipping session while on a romantic holiday.
In the episode, things get heated when the couple heads for the hotel pool late at night.
Speaking to TV Week, Stewart said his character “wants to rekindle their love and passion for one another”.
“To live in the moment and be spontaneous. It’s such a thrill!” he said.
Meanwhile, Nicodemou said: “Of course, it’s not a great idea, but it is a lot of fun at the time.”
In spoilers released, it appears the pair’s cheeky swim was caught on CCTV and they will have to explain their actions to the hotel management.
It comes just days after Nicodemou revealed how her Home and Away co-stars discovered her off-screen relationship with Stewart.
The 47-year-old actress said she had only told a small group of people that she was “close with” on set before “word got around” about the couple’s off-screen relationship.
“I figured I didn’t need to tell anyone else,” she told Mamamia’s No Filter podcast.
“We didn’t need a group email, people just worked it out.”
Nicodemou also admitted growing feelings for her TV co-star was “weird” at first.
“Jimmy and I have known each other for 25 to 30 years and there were no feelings for a really, really long time. So I was shocked when I started having feelings,” she said.
“There was this chemistry for the first time — this spark that happened that wasn’t there before and it was weird.”
The couple began dating after Nicodemou split from her ex-partner Adam Rigby just before Christmas last year and Stewart finalised his divorce from Sarah Roberts in March.
They made their public debut at this year’s Logie Awards.
