Home and Away star Ada Nicodemou has hinted that she has another dramatic exit storyline on the way.

The actress, who plays Leah Patterson-Baker, will be taking maternity leave again later this year as she is currently pregnant with her second child.

When Nicodemou took time out for the arrival of her first baby Johnas, viewers saw Leah flee Summer Bay as she was being stalked by Jamie Sharpe.

Speaking to Digital Spy about Leah's next on-screen break, Nicodemou explained: "I've only just found out how they're writing me out, but obviously I can't give anything away.

"I originally wanted them to write in the pregnancy, but they have decided not to do that - so we are hiding the bump this time round as well. But at least there's a storyline around her leaving - and it's definitely quite a big storyline again!"

Discussing her joy at falling pregnant again, Nicodemou continued: "I'm really excited for Johnas to have a little brother or sister and for us to be a complete family. It's a really nice time and I feel really blessed to be pregnant again.

"I think you're blessed every day to have a child in your life. My son is just amazing, he's gorgeous and I love spending time with him. You can't imagine loving someone else just as much, but like my husband says, you just grow another heart. I'm really looking forward to it."
