Eastenders star Natalie Cassidy first hit Britain's television screens as Sonia Fowler back in 1993.
Since her BBC soap debut, the actress has completely transformed her appearance after she underwent a remarkable weight loss journey which took her from a size 16 to a size eight. Fans of the mum-of-two have been cheering her on from the sidelines as the actress lost an impressive amount of weight in just a year.
Natalie has mostly credited her transformation to her dedication to improving her health and fitness as she has ditched takeaways and has now recently taken on a major marathon in memory of her late co-star Barbara Winsdor, the Daily Star reports.
Here we take a closer look at how the soap icon successfully shed the pounds.
Natalie's weight loss journey has not been entirely plain sailing as she revealed how she lost a whopping four stone for her £100k fitness DVD deal only to put it all back on within eight weeks.
The actress spoke about how she was offered the lump sum of cash in order to get fit. Natalie went on to release two weight-loss DVDS, Then and Now and The Perfect Ten in 2013. She admitted during an interview on the Comfort Eating with Grace Dent podcast that she was given the money to lose four stone.
The EastEnders star explained: "I was very overweight and they approached me and said listen, we're going to give you £100,000, we're going to get you really fit and you're going to lose four stone.
"I was like happy days, let's go for it. I just thought, that's a lot of money; but it wasn't the right thing to do."
However, things did not quite go according to plan for the new found exercise addict as Natalie admitted that she put all the weight back on after the DVD's release.
