Back in May of last year, Lisa commented on her incredible transformation as she admitted that she had made some changes to her lifestyle and diet to lose weight.

"I've always eaten really healthily but with everything going on with my eyes and my Diabetes I went to see a nutritionist. I cut out so much from my diet and am a stone lighter than I was last year.

"I'm loving the weight I'm at now. I went out on Friday and wore a velvet suit that was a size 10. I have not been in a size 10 since I was 28!"

Taking to social media at the time of her exit from , Lisa said: "Never did I think all those years ago that two episodes would turn into over a decade of my life on screen, but in the blink of an eye it's passed like no time at all... I feel honoured to have been part of such an institution for so long... the world's first and longest running soap! What a ride it's been."
