Within a week of dancing in BBC One’s Dancing competition, Lisa Riley had shed a stone.
And now it appears the former Emmerdale actress has lost even more, as she looked noticeably trimmer when she left the ITV studios on Friday morning after a chat with Kate Garraway on Lorraine Live.
The big Strictly Come Dancing star, who has amazed show producers with her native dance talent, was all smiles as she got on her way to her car.
Former Emmerdale actress sported a loose-fitting dandelion-print dress from Simply Be, happily waved to the cameras.
She completed her outfit with a pair of thick black tights and knee-high black boots with a slight heel.
Her hair, which got worn down on the popular dancing show, was loose and wavy with a reddish hue.
Since her performance last weekend, Lisa has transpired as a favourite to win the show, together with Olympic gymnast Louis Smith.
Before the actress dance on the stage, many thought that she would be part of the 'comedy' act in the competition.
However, when she stared dancing cha cha cha with partner Robin Windsor, she won praise from Craig Revel because she was the first woman to lift her partner on the show.
He said: ‘Three words darling, you can dance!’
Once the review was over, Lisa ran up to the infamously hard to pleased judge and planted a kiss on him.
It wasn't just Craig who got electrified with her dancing moves as Aretha Franklin and the other judges also gave their praises to her.
Len Goodman noted: 'You're a funky monkey I'm telling you.'
He added: 'You were like a fizzy bottle of cola.'
Len did confess that her performance wasn't exact but noted: 'Whatever lacked technically was made up for in energy and enthusiasm.'
New judge Darcey Bussell informed her: 'I love someone who can take risks, that was an amazing end.'
Both Craig and Darcey gave eight points each while both Len and Bruno Tolioli awarded seven points, which takes the couple's total to 30, eventually leaving her at the top of the leader board.
Lisa was surprised by the outcome and couldn’t believe how the judges got impressed with her performance, she was heard saying: 'Madness, madness.'
Addressing about being included in the show, Lisa previously said: 'It will be amazing to get pampered and get a full face of make-up and big hair done every Saturday night.
'Hopefully people will forget how I looked as Mandy Dingle.'
Aside from taking part in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing, she will be also seen in panto as Queen Malevola in Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs at the Kings Theatre, Southsea.
