Lorraine Stanley has revealed that she had weight-loss surgery after becoming ‘immune’ to jabs. 

The soap star, 49, who portrayed Karen Taylor in EastEnders from 2017 to 2024, has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past two years, shedding an impressive 6.5 stone.

In a new interview, the actress opened up about how she achieved her incredibly slimmed-down figure.

She revealed that she had a gastric sleeve fitted two years ago, explaining to New magazine: ‘I went to a London clinic, paid an awful lot of money and had it done. 

‘It’s hands-down the best thing I’ve ever done – both for me and for my family.’

Lorraine previously tried weight loss jab Wegovy, but felt it eventually stopped working for her as she became ‘immune’ to it.

She said: ‘It got to the point where I was injecting myself and eating at the same time.’

It comes a month after Lorraine shared an Instagram photo as she proudly showed off her slimmer frame.

Posting a snap from an event, Lorraine looked gorgeous in a green and pink print co-ord.

Taking to her Instagram story, she also revealed a new milestone in her lifestyle overhaul.

She told fans: ‘I’m five months sober and still had a good night dancing! #Sobriety.’

Lorraine’s former co-stars rushed to the comments to praise the actress, with Diane Parish, who plays Denise in EastEnders, writing: ‘You look incredible!’

Martin Fowler actor James Bye agreed, gushing in the comments: ‘Look at you skinny minny xx miss you mate xx’

Lorraine has shared pictures with her social media followers along the way – and revealed she now feels better than ever.
