Soap icon Sue Cleaver, managed to drop an impressive three stone over the years due to a complete change in her eating habits. The Coronation Street star, who plays Eileen Grimshaw, slimmed down from a size 16 to a 12. But how did she do it?
In February last year, she stunned viewers after she revealed her incredible new figure.
And it turns out it was all down to one diet in particular.
Sue's weight loss journey began in 2016, after the actress was left unhappy with what she saw on the bathroom scales.
So she decided it was time to make a change and shed a few pounds.
A source previously told Woman magazine: "Sue was always a self-confessed foodie, who admitted that over-indulgence was her Achilles Heel. Now everythings changed."
