EastEnders actress Letitia Dean has wowed fans with her epic weight loss, as her on-screen character Sharon showed off her petite frame in a red lace dress.

The actress has been in the BBC soap on and off since she was 17, and has been part of some of the soap's biggest storylines including the upcoming Christmas twist.

On Tuesday night (25 July), viewers watched as Sharon battled with former lover Keanu over his hasty decision to try and take daughter Peggy. Whilst the scenes were tense, viewers couldn't get over how amazing Letitia looked in the figure hugging crimson dress.

Letitia has been losing weight over the last year, and it's not gone unnoticed by fans.

One raved: "Letitia Dean lost two stone of weight without using any weight loss pills or surgery, after being mocked for her size and assured she was too fat. Comparing her before and after pictures, the 55-year-old star now looks much healthier.."

The actress is said to have went from weighing 10st 4lb to 8st 3lb last year, going down four dress sizes in total.

Letitia previously opened up about her weight loss, after revealing she'd received cruel comments when she was at a bigger size.

Speaking on EastEnders' spin-off show Secrets from the Square in 2020, Letitia admitted: "I had quite a lot of horrible things said about me: 'She's too fat, the other actors complain they can't fit on the same set with her'."

The weight loss is the result of a healthy diet and regular exercise, as Letitia previously told Closer how running and boxercise are now "two of her favourite things".

She also opened up about cutting down to 1,300 calories a day, and she now eats high-protein food like skinless chicken breasts and fuels up on lots of green vegetables.

Commenting on her diet, Letitia said: "It was incredible. I found I had so much more energy than when I used to eat junk food."
