Ada Nicodemou has struggled to hide her growing baby bump on 'Home & Away'.
The Australian soap star - who plays Leah Patterson-Baker - has admitted producers have found it "comical" trying to hide her protruding stomach as she prepares to welcome her second child with husband Chrys Xipolitas.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "Last time round when I was pregnant, Leah was working around the diner a lot so I just hid behind the coffee machine and it was just fantastic for me.
"This time round, there is a lot of loose clothing and a lot of handbags to hide my bump. The thing is, I'm so short that people can't block me or you won't see me at all.
"It does become quite comical towards the end. People who watch the show know I'm pregnant and they are quire forgiving that it can get difficult to hide."
Although Ada - who has two-year-old son Johnas with Chrys - cannot reveal how Leah will be written out of the soap when she goes on maternity leave, she says her exit will be "dramatic".
Meanwhile, the 36-year-old star is yet to discover her baby's gender.
She added: "I do have a few names in mind. I don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet but I'm keeping all names to myself."
'Home & Away' airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5.

Rolf Harris' daughter banged her head against a wall upon discovering her father had been accused of sexual assault.
Bindi Harris was "beside herself" when a childhood friend claimed the 84-year-old TV presenter had molested her and confronted him in an angry phone call in 1997, a court has heard today (29.05.14).
Rolf has denied 12 counts of indecent assault against four underage girls, including Bindi's friend, between 1968 and 1986. The star has previously confessed to having a consensual relationship with the woman when she was 18.
Prosecuting barrister Sasha Wass QC quizzed Rolf about his daughter's reaction to the allegations, saying: "Bindi was beside herself?"
The star responded: "I suppose so, yes."
He added that in her anger, Bindi had smashed some paintings had gifted her, while Ms. Wass claimed Bindi had also banged her head against a wall.
Rolf said: "I don't recall her being angry with me in person but I recall her breaking some paintings I had given her so I assumed she was very angry."
The 'Animal Hospital' presenter, who has been supported in court by Bindi and his wife Alwen Hughes, continued to deny any wrongdoing and says his accusers are "lying".

Sir Bruce Forsyth found 'Strictly Come Dancing' a "hard slog".
The 86-year-old TV presenter announced his decision to leave his role as host of the BBC One dancing competition last month, and he admits he found it tough to keep up with the number of contestants and the pressure to ensure the series continues to ride high in the ratings.
He explained: "When it starts you have maybe 15, 16 couples and it's a hard slog. Then the stress ... the bigger a show gets the more you want to keep the show up there and then you get nervous."
Bruce felt it was the "right time" to leave before viewers get sick of him, but will miss being part of the hit show.
He told ITV's 'Loose Women': "I'm going to miss it like mad but there is always a time to go. You've got to make up your mind when is the right time to go, and I thought it was.
"The only thing I could think of is, I didn't want to be like a piece of old fruit where it gradually goes off."
The TV legend will most miss his co-presenter Tess Daly, who will front the new series with Claudia Winkleman.
He added: "I will miss it - Tess particularly. She is a darling to work with and I adore her."

'Home & Away' legend Ray Meagher has no plans to retire from playing Alf Stewart.
The 69-year-old actor has been in the soap since the first episode aired in 1988, but he feels that time has flown by and he still hasn't tired of his famous role.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "It hasn't felt like 27 years, although when you get up in the morning and shave, it does look like 27 years then."
Ray is the longest serving cast member of the Australian soap - which airs on Channel 5 in the UK - and has become a national treasure in his native Australia, as well as recognised whenever he visits the UK.
Quizzed about his longevity, he said: "It's wonderful, you don't set out to achieve that, but it is really nice. All I have tried to do for all my time on the show is play him as honestly as I possibly can."
The soap star also revealed that his veteran status on 'Home & Away' allows him some perks, such as being given free rein to change Alf's dialogue when he is handed his scripts.
He explained: "You're stuck with storylines but you're not stuck with the words that come out of your mouth. The rate we make the programme, no one can write accurately for every character so I only change what would suit Alf to say.
"A lot of expressions that I have remembered from my earlier days round the bush, or from playing rugby and hearing expressions that you really like - they get thrown in."
'Home & Away' airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5.

Salsa dancing granny Paddy Jones has been forced to withdraw from 'Britain's Got Talent'.
The 79-year-old dancer - who wowed judges with her daring routine with dance partner Nico Espinosa - will not take part in Saturday's (31.05.14) live semi-final due to injury.
A 'BGT' spokesperson said: "After seeking medical advice, Paddy will not be able to perform in the semi-final. Unfortunately because of this Paddy and Nico have had to withdraw from the competition."
Paddy and Nico appeared in the first episode of the latest series of the ITV talent competition and impressed judge Amanda Holden enough to press the Golden Buzzer, which assured the salsa dancing act a place in the live shows.
It's believed Paddy injured her ribs after taking a fall in rehearsals.
Amanda is "devastated" the duo won't be able to continue on in the competition.
She said: "Ever since I first saw Paddy dance I fell in love with her. I was so looking forward to her and Nico wowing us with another amazing routine in the semi-finals and I really think she could have won the whole show.
"The most important thing though is that she makes a speedy recovery and gets back to living life to the full."

Jim Parsons was prepared for fame when he joined 'The Big Bang Theory'.
The 41-year-old star plays socially awkward scientist Sheldon Cooper in the hit US sitcom and he feels being in his thirties when the show started helped keep him grounded, despite his newfound fame and millions.
He explained: "I was 33 when I started the show and I'd never done anything in the public eye before. But I do feel I had a decent handle on who I was when all the s**t hit the fan, in the best of ways.
"I had other friends who were working so I knew enough to know I'd probably sign a five-year contract and earning an amount of money I'd never seen before.
"I don't remember how much but it didn't matter - anything would have been impressive to me."
Jim has earned several awards for his role as Sheldon, including three Best Actor prizes at the Emmys, but the humble star thinks the character's success is down to the show's writers.
He told the Metro newspaper: "The show's creators and writers created a character that's unique to television and I'm taking no credit for that. I don't even think about [awards] or I wouldn't be able to play it properly. Sheldon has something broken about him, which I think endears him to a lot of people."

Coronation Street's Steve McDonald will be left "gutted" when Michelle Connor breaks up with him.
The brassy barmaid - played by Kym Marsh - calls time on their relationship next week after discovering that Steve knew about Peter Barlow's affair with Tina McIntyre, but actor Simon Gregson thinks the couple should work it out as they've made it through far worse.
Michelle is left disgusted and packs her bags when she learns Steve lied to help cover Peter's tracks, even though he knew the affair would hurt Michelle's pregnant pal, Peter's wife Carla (Alison King).
Simon reasoned: "Michelle has forgiven Steve for much worse than this, but she packs her bags and leaves. Steve tries to tell her that he didn't want to be the one to tear Carla's world apart by breaking the news to her - especially after finding out she was pregnant - but it's no good. He knows that he should have told Michelle at least.
"I just don't think it would be right for this to be the thing that breaks them. Steve would be gutted if it did."
Following Tina's death, Peter (Chris Gascoyne) is named as prime suspect in the murder investigation and Steve realises his neck is on the line, too, after helping provide Peter alibis for his liaisons with Tina.
Simon told Inside Soap magazine: "He ends up pinning Peter up against a wall. Steve has completely lost patience with this guy, who hasn't thought for one second that his actions might have affected Steve and his life."

Lucy Mecklenburgh thinks 'The Only Way Is Essex' is "cursed".
The 22-year-old beauty got engaged to her ex-boyfriend Mario Falcone on the ITV2 reality show but has admitted she doesn't think her former co-stars Charlie Sims and Ferne McCann should follow suit.
She said: "Charlie Sims has said he wants to propose to Ferne McCann on 'TOWIE'. My advice to him is don't do it! The show is cursed. Not one engagement has worked.
"I don't think there's any need to rush it either. If you love someone, that should be enough. I made that mistake."
The former reality TV star has advised the couple - who confirmed they'd got back together last week following a number of cheating scandals - to take their relationship one step at a time.
She wrote in her new! magazine column: "I reckon they should let the dust settle after everything and get through another series, as things usually get a bit rocky once filming starts."
Meanwhile, Lucy has admitted she avoids going to Mario's house to visit their dog Bentley because she's still getting over their split.
She said: "Mario has made it clear that I can see Bentley whenever I want, but it's just a bit awkward. I thought it'd be better to leave things and move forward."

Lucy Kay, Yanis Marshall, Arnaud, and Medhi are through to the 'Britain's Got Talent' 2014 final.
The operatic singer, 24, and the French dance group have been voted through to next week's grand final after two impressive performances on the ITV show last night (28.05.14).
Lucy, who performed a rendition of Nella Fatasia, burst into tears after winning the popular vote and described the experience as "overwhelming."
She said: "Thank you so much for voting for me. There's amazing acts I just didn't think I was one of them. Thank you so much!"
The two dance groups in the competition, Cartel and Yanis and his dancers went head-to-head and were put before the judges to pick their favourite.
David Walliams chose Yanis and quipped: "I cannot say no to three Frenchmen in high heels."
Alesha Dixon also chose the troupe, who she described as 'faultless', but Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell both picked Cartel as their favourite act.
The split vote meant it was back to the public to decide and Yanis and co could eventually celebrate after being put through with Lucy to the grand final next Saturday (07.06.14).
Yanis was left stunned after the result was announced and stuttered: "I don't even know yet, I need to, I don't know."
Earlier in the night boyband The Vamps stormed the stage and Alesha's Golden Buzzer picks REAformed performed a stunning rendition of Beyonce's 'End of Time', which wowed the judges.
