Eastenders' Lorraine Stanley's incredible weight loss in just six weeks

Eastenders actress Lorraine Stanley has revealed how she lost a staggering 12Ib in just six weeks.

Lorraine, who playes loudmouth Karen Brady in the BBC soap, wowed the crowd on the red carpet with her new figure when she showed up to the Inside Soap Awards last October.

Lorraine recently revealed how she lost 12Ib in just a six week time frame.

But how did she do it?

Lorraine admits to following a strict fitness regime and diet, which is set out for her by her mate and personal trainer, Louise Appel.

Despite having to cut out some of her favourite things, Lorraine is quite enjoying the challenge.

"My mate Louise is my fitness guru. I've got her to thank for it," she recently told Woman's Own magazine.

"I've eaten a lot of boiled eggs, fish, chicken, no carbs, no crisps and no chocolate. I'm enjoying it and I feel better for it."

Lorraine often can't believe the way fans react to her in the street when she's out and about.

"Even just my hair down with a fringe throws people" she laughs.

She admits that she has never played glamorous roles on TV, saying: "I'm used to seeing myself and thinking, 'Oh my God, you look awful!'

"Sometimes if my fella is sat next to me and he has Eastenders on, I'll say, 'Don't look at me on screen'."

Keep up the good work, Lorraine.
