Natalie Cassidy, a former EastEnders star, claims that the fitness DVDs she purchased when she was younger were mistaken.
Natalie Cassidy says she is no longer concerned about her weight and that she regrets making a fitness DVD.
The former EastEnders actor and podcast host fronted a ‘Then & Now’ workout DVD in December 2007 where she said she lost 2.5 stone thanks to the exercises she did on screen. She later made a ‘perfect ten’ one in 2013 too.
But looking back, Natalie told Radio Times: “The DVD wasn’t a good move for me – I did it for the money. I’m now 42, and to be honest, I could be doing a bit more exercise at the moment, but I just can’t be bothered. I think, ‘If this is the size I’m meant to be, then I need to be happy with that.’
I avoid eating too much. My food is delicious. A glass of wine is what I enjoy. You can’t have crisps every day, but I do. I believe everything to be moderate. My days aren’t as good if I choose to lose a lot of weight.
Natalie is currently on screen in ITV series Cooking With The Stars and also fronts her own podcast series.
She has now left EastEnders having played Sonia Fowler since 1993. But despite playing the role for so long, she insists it wasn’t a hard call to make.
It was a very natural choice, she said.
“Sometimes when you’re in something, you think that’s all there is, so when I had a break from EastEnders last year, I did The Masked Singer and a doc for Channel 4 [What’s the Big Deal: Britain’s Best Buys?].
You’ll never know what’s out there, they say. I therefore intended to observe Sonia and see what else is happening.
Happy Days, Natalie’s autobiography, is set to be released in October and will “enter her readers on a journey through the highs and lows and the changing seasons of life.” Additionally, she wants to work on television more.
She continued, “I’m really enjoying being myself, but I’m really looking forward to having a gritty or funny role.”
After moving away from London, Natalie and Marc Humphreys, a cameraman, have two daughters who adore living in the countryside.
