Speaking to The Telegraph, she said: "I always wanted to bring up children here. I always wanted to be a mum. I never chased the Hollywood dream.
"Although now I reassess and go, 'Was it because I was scared that I wasn't going to make it?' But I don't want to go waiting on tables. It doesn't interest me. I am really happy with where I am at."

Ada also revealed how she once told former co-star Chris Hemsworth 'not to get his hopes up' when he left the soap to become a major Hollywood star.
"You might not make it... so don't get your hopes up!" she told him. Of course, Hemsworth went on to become one of the biggest earners in entertainment after being cast as Marvel's Thor.
Home and Away returns to Channel 5 on Monday, January 6 at 1.15pm and 6pm.
