Letitia Dean looked slimmer than ever as she showcased her incredible body transformation during Wednesday night's episode of EastEnders.
The soap star, who plays Sharon Watts on the iconic BBC show, wowed viewers by wearing a figure-hugging dress, as her character tried to sabotage Phil Mitchell and Kat Slater's wedding.
54-year-old Letitia wore an off the shoulder navy dress, which featured elegant ruched detail. Her hair was pulled away from her face in a low ponytail and the outfit was finished with a pair of chic black heels.
Viewers flocked to Twitter to congratulate the actress on her weight loss, with many saying they wish they could get the same results.
One person wrote: "Sharon is looking SKINNY MINI."
Another said: "Sharon looks absolutely stunning at the moment. I’d be surprised if she weighs 4 stone wow she’s so skinny."
"Sharon looks so good in #EastEnders," penned a third. A fourth person tweeted: "How did Sharon lose so much weight? Whatever it is I want it too."
During the episode, Sharon almost ended up kissing Phil (Steve McFadden) after Kat ( Jessie Wallace ) failed to show up to the wedding ceremony. Instead, Kat found herself stuck on a boat with her ex Alfie Moon (Shane Richie).
Sharon has made it clear she wants Phil back and even tried to persuade him she is everything he needs. As they were about to kiss, the priest interrupted and Kat finally arrived.
Letitia has spoken openly about her yo-yoing weight over the years and back in 2020 revealed how she had been targeted by cruel trolls.
"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," she explained on spin-off show Secrets from the Square at the time.
The actress was one of the originals on the show when it first began and was only aged 17 at the time.
Letitia previously spoke about how she was faced with constant criticism over her body image- so much so it damaged her self-confidence and contributed to her getting a breast reduction when she was a teenager.
"Backache had a lot to do with that decision too" she told Hello! magazine in October 2001. "But I was a lot less secure about myself and there was a lot of focus on how I looked."
She added: "Occasionally, the attention on my appearance still bothers me - it bothers all women, doesn't it? - but I have those things in perspective nowadays."
