Here, Daily Star takes a closer look inside EastEnders' stars biggest body transformations.

Martine McCutcheon

Former EastEnders Tiffany Mitchell star Martine McCutcheon wowed fans last year, after she shared stunning snaps of her weight loss transformation on social media.

Martine smiled for the camera as she posed in a grey striped jumper and black mini-skirt for an Instagram snap, which flaunted her toned figure and tiny waist.

Fans went wild for the snap, with one saying: "You look stunning and that outfit is beautiful."

"You look the best you've ever looked," said a second, while a third added: "You look amazing."

The Love Actually star had previously opened up about her one stone weight loss to Hello! Magazine, saying that she followed a low calorie diet of shakes, soups and snack bars to lose weight following the birth of her son.

However, she revealed to Love Sunday Magazine that she maintains an "80/20 rule", which sees the star eat plenty of vegetables and fruit, as well as organic vegetable juices – but will also indulge in some treats too.

“I’ll have treats 20 per cent of the time – I’ll have that slice of pizza, chocolate or a G&T to celebrate a friend’s birthday," said Martine.

Speaking about her weight loss, she added: "It's taken me such a long time to look through all the stuff that’s out there, and just do what works for me.

"So it's not as simple as just going on a crazy diet. I just feel like it's really important to encourage women to just be the best version of themselves."

Letitia Dean

Letitia Dean made a return to Albert Square earlier this year – and fans flocked to social media to comment on the actress' stunning transformation.

Following her reapparance on the soap, one fan said on Twitter: "Letitia Dean looks incredible, don't know if it's a diet or the gym but fair play to her because it's knocked years off her"

A second added: "Sharon looks incredible #Eastenders," while a third commented: "Sharon has shed loads of weight, looking amazing."

The star, who plays Sharon Watts in the BBC soap, has since revealed that she has lost two stone and dropped four dress sizes after cutting her calorie intake and following a diet plan.

Speaking to Daily Express, she said that she focused on "healthy food" to lose weight, sharing an example meal, saying: "Pitta bread with a grilled skinless chicken breast, for instance, and lots of greens."

She added: "I found I had so much more energy than when I used to eat junk food.”

Letitia also revealed in the BBC programme Secrets From The Square, that she participated in Strictly Come Dancing in 2007 so that she could tackle her weight loss.

She said: "The main reason I [signed up was because [I] wanted to do something about my figure, I was so sick of extreme dieting and my weight yo-yoing."

Adam Woodyatt

Ian Beale actor Adam Woodyatt showcased an incredible transformation after losing over three stone in weight recently.

He has since revealed that giving up drinking is the secret behind his incredible weight loss transformation – along with cycling.

Speaking to The Mirror, Adam said: "With giving up alcohol, the weight drops off and because the weight dropped it was easier to cycle. So it was easier to stay fit."

Despite the huge impact that giving up alcohol has had on his weight loss, Adam added that he has not made 'a big fuss of it', saying: "Everyone's different. For me, giving up alcohol was the right thing to do.

"I'm not going to turn around and say that's it forever, that I'm never ever going to drink again.

"But at this point in my life, yeah, I'm quite happy not drinking. And the result is I've lost about three stone in weight."

The actor also revealed that he was introduced to cycling by EastEnders co-star Jake Wood, who plays Max Branning in the soap, describing the exercise as an amazing "escape from reality."

Natalie Cassidy

Sonia Fowler star Natalie Cassidy has recently revealed the secrets behind her weight loss transformation, which saw the star drop four dress sizes and lose over three stone.

She has previously revealed on Twitter that training for the London Marathon in 2019 helped her to shift the pounds – and speaking on the podcast RunPod, she said that her friends in a running group helped to keep her motivated.

"We’ve suddenly become this little team of people and we’re so close," said Natalie.

"We’ve got WhatsApp groups and we go out together and we post our runs and it gives you motivation."

Natalie also revealed that she ditched unhealthy snacks including crisps and dips, as well as cutting down on alcohol.

She told The Sun: "I cut out rubbish. I cut down on alcohol too, even though I love white wine."

Jessie Wallace

Kat Slater actress Jessie Wallace is another EastEnders star to have lost more than three stone in weight, dropping four dress sizes in the process.

The Daily Express reported that Jessie first began her weight loss journey in 2009, by following a low-carb, healthy diet plan.

She also regularly visited the gym and worked with a personal trainer to gain her toned figure.

Speaking to The Mirror about her weight loss at the time, following her appearance on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, she said: "I've loved the food and started to see real results after just two weeks, it's been easy to stick to it.

"It really has changed my life. Now I'm actually beginning to see a little bit of a six-pack coming through."
