Lorraine Stanley, 48, is best known for her role as Karen Taylor in the hit BBC One soap.
She made her EastEnders debut in 2017 before departing the long-running serial drama in 2024.
Since then, the actress has undergone a huge transformation as she now looks almost unrecognisable from her alter-ego.
The star took to her social media page as she flaunted her slim physique.
She sported a slimming flower print crop top and trousers combo as she partied the night away at a special bingo event.
Underneath the tied top, she sported a skin-tight white vest which only emphasised her tiny waist.
For shoes, Lorraine opted for complimentary open-toe leather platform strapped heels for the occasion.
Alongside flaunting her slim physique, the star also opened up on a huge new milestone in her life.
She captioned the snap: “5 months sober & still had a good night dancing! #Sobriety.”
Lorraine added: “@Bingobangouk @thegaietysouthsea thanks for having us.”
EastEnders legend reveals secret to five stone weight loss
The actress was written out of Eastenders in 2023 after seven years on the show in a huge shock to fans.
Her character’s axing was as part of a shock cast shake-up and her final scenes were aired in December of that year.
She went onto reprise her fan-favourite role a number of times in 2024 before her last episode hit BBC screens in June.
Since her exit, she has faced speculation over her dramatic weight loss transformation.
EastEnders stars who QUIT
MICHELLE Collins has seen her second EastEnders stint boost her bank balance. Yet what stars have quit this year?
The Sun exclusively reported how Michelle, 62, was down to £20,000 in her company accounts when she agreed to a shock back-from-the-dead return to Albert Square last year.
Her character, Cindy Beale, was presumed dead off-camera in 1998.
Yet what about the 2024 exits?
Earlier this summer, loyal soap fans appeared to note how Stevie Mitchell had “quit” the long-running series.
It came after Alan Ford enjoyed just six-months on-screen.
Bobby Beale actor Clay Milner Russell also left this year after five years in Walford.
Fans also feared Martin Fowler actor James Bye would “quit out of boredom” over recent storylines.
Additionally, a host of stars have quit the BBC soap for Hollywood fame.
One of the most successful stars to come from the BBC One soap is Rob Kazinsky.
He played Stacey Slater’s brother Sean Slater from 2006 to 2009, he has starred in Hollywood blockbusters Pacific Rim and Captain Marvel.
Ben Hardy, who quit EastEnders as Bobby Beale almost a decade ago, went on to break Hollywood the following year, when he starred as Archangel in X-Men: Apocalypse.
Since then, he has played Roger Taylor in Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, and he starred in Michael Bay’s Netflix movie 6 Underground.
Michelle Ryan played Zoe Slater until 2005.
She starred as the lead in short-lived American series Bionic Woman from 2007 to 2008.
However, Lorraine admitted it was not down to popular jabs like Ozempic or Mounjaro.
Instead, Lorraine opted for the more traditional gastric sleeve operation.
