Lorraine Stanley, a former EastEnders actress, has lost such impressive weight that she looks unrecognizable in a year after leaving her soap role.

EastEnders actress Lorraine Stanley has shown off her incredible body transformation one year on from her exiting the soap.

The star was known to viewers as fan favourite character Karen Taylor before she left and underwent a total change of image. Lorraine, 48, was seen posing alongside her sister on Instagram as she raved about her sibling in a touching post dedicated to her.

Wearing an embroidered floral waistcoat layered over a white vest and teamed with a long khaki skirt with large dark sunglasses on BBC star Lorraine looked totally unrecognisable as she grinned while cuddled up to her sister. She captioned the picture writing: “Happy Birthday to my beautiful sister Karen. Love you millions.”

After attending the London Marathon, Lorraine was also seen promoting her new super-slim frame in a different social media post. In a sun-soaked London, Lorraine shared a photo and video montage from the day out.

Along with her partner Mark Perez and their daughter Nancy, who was born in 2015, she also posed at a number of city landmarks. After completing the 26-mile epic race, Lorraine was seen celebrating with Frankie in the photos, where she gushed about how proud she was of him for winning.

Jakeway smashed it, she wrote. You deserve more praise than I can! I had no idea how to handle it! Children Cancer UK also supports such a fantastic cause. What a wonderful day it was. Nancy enjoyed your performance.

Lorraine starred in EastEnders for seven years before Karen was written out in 2023 after a complicated fake kidnap plot involving her son Keanu Taylor and his girlfriend Sharon Watts son Albie Watts.

Her final scenes, which were aired in December 2023, came after she fled with some of Phil Mitchell’s money.

After the body of murdered Keanu’s body and his funeral, Lorraine did make a brief appearance in 2024 as Karen. Now that her story is complete, Lorraine has asserted that she will never ever return to the soap full.

She said to The Sun last year, “Once you’ve done a soap, you’ve done a soap.” I’m happy doing what I’m doing right now, but I’d like to stop now.

Never say never because they have left the door open. It was nice to see everyone and be a part of the family once more after my special appearance.

Romeo, the second-eldest son of football player David, addressed the crowd on Saturday night.

Golden child Romeo Beckham stepped up in brother Brooklyn’s absence to deliver a speech at his dad’s 50th birthday, we can reveal. Football legend David Beckham celebrated his 50th birthday in style this weekend with a lavish dinner and party at Core restaurant in London’s Notting Hill.

David’s youngest children Romeo Beckham, 22, Cruz Beckham, 20, and Harper Beckham, 13 were all present and arrived at the bash together in a show of unity. But Brooklyn Beckham, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz-Beckham, 30, were not at the party and have not attended any of Beckham’s birthday events in the last week. So it fell on Romeo as second eldest to deliver a speech at Core restaurant on Saturday.

When he arrived at the venue, he could see the first of several cue cards in his hand. Romeo addressed the crowd, “Good evening everyone. I want to start by thanking everyone who is here tonight. He wouldn’t be half as successful as he is now, I know without the support of many of you in tonight. However, to the current “man.” Then, according to what he knows, he reportedly praised his father, who he described on social media as “the most amazing role model.”

Romeo also delivered another recent speech last month during the Miami pre-birthday celebrations in front of his parents, according to photos he posted from April 10. Romeo’s brother was unlikely to attend, and he may have planned a speech for this weekend, it seems.

His older brother, in contrast, was invited but never attended any of the birthday celebrations.

Despite jetting to London from their LA home last week, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz did not attend the weekend celebrations, much to David and Victoria’s disappointment.

Brooklyn hasn’t posted any messages about his dad’s milestone on his own social media, despite claims that it is “all about Nicola.”

The couple did not attend the Beckhams’ £10 million Cotswolds mansion party on Wednesday evening or family celebrations in France.

However, David had family and friends to spend the weekend with up until 3am.

Other guests included actor Tom Cruise, ex-footballer Gary Neville, and TV chef Gordon Ramsay.

Neville, who turned 50 a few months ago, expressed his condolences on social media. He declared, “Happy 50th mate. The best is you! For the first time in your life, hold on tight and reflect on everything you’ve accomplished and accomplished in these first 50 years.

We’ve won, lost, laughed, and cried together, but our relationship has been the most incredible. Our parents and kids are still present in the crowd. You have done everything with care, effort, and humility. I have a lot of confidence in you, and more importantly, I have faith in you. I wish you the best of luck.

I know without many of you in here tonight he wouldn’t be half of the man he is today. But to the man of the moment…” He is then understood to have praised his dad at length, who earlier this week he described as “the most amazing role model” on his social media.

Photos he posted from April 10 show Romeo also gave another recent speech in front of his parents for the Miami pre-birthday celebrations last month. It suggests Romeo knew his brother was unlikely to attend and had a speech planned for this weekend.

By contrast his older brother has not been at any of the birthday celebrations, despite being invited.

Despite jetting to London from their LA home last week, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz did not attend the weekend celebrations, much to David and Victoria’s disappointment.

Some claims have insisted it is “all about Nicola” but Brooklyn has also yet to post any message on his own social media about his dad’s milestone.

The couple did not attend family celebrations in France on Friday, or the big party at the Beckhams’ £10million Cotswolds mansion on Wednesday evening.

However, David was not short of friends and family to party with at the weekend until 3am.

Other guests included actor Tom Cruise, ex-footballer Gary Neville, and TV chef Gordon Ramsay.

Neville, who turned 50 several months ago, paid a heartfelt tribute to his pal on social media. He wrote: “Happy 50th mate. You’re the best! Stand still today for once and reflect on everything you have achieved and done in these first 50 years of your life.

“We’ve won, lost, laughed and cried but had the most incredible times together. I can still see our mums and dads in the crowd. Everything you’ve done has come through humility, care and hard work. I’m proud of you and more importantly trust you with my life. All my love to you.”

The Apprentice star Tre Lowe has become a father for the first time at 50 years old. The TV star, who rose to fame on the BBC programme in 2023, took to his social media page to share pictures of his newborn baby’s tiny hands and feet as he paid tribute to his son and his wife.

He continued, “And just like that, I’m a father.” Nothing can prepare you for this moment, they say. No advice, no podcast, or book. A whole new frequency of love is present with you and your son. Real talk: It hasn’t been easy to get here. There have been many plot twists, growing pains, and challenging situations. But each one affected how I was. opened my heart. constructed a real object. “Some solid thing”

Tre continued, “Everything makes sense now that I look at my son.” My task . Why I’m here. I see you, everyone who has followed me and held space. I appreciate it. You are my love.

You are power, beauty, grace, and grit, my wife Enas. I’m amazed by what you’ve accomplished, carried, and transformed into. I’ve got you, my son, too. Throughout everything. Through magic and madness. I’ve got you from now until my last breath. The chapter is just beginning. Let’s get it, shall we?

His friends and fans eluded the comment section, where former The Apprentice winner Harpreet Kaur wrote, “Congrats!!” to the newest addition to his family. Beautiful . “

Huge congratulations to you both, Su-Elise Nash from Mis-Teeq said. We’re so happy for you, love you all, and we’re so happy for you! Welcome to parenthood.

One person wrote: “OMG I am so happy for you. You and @enas_daeki_ will be the best mummy and daddy. Congratulations you two,” and another delighted fan commented: “Congratulations my brother, welcome to the club!”

Tre, who tied the knot to Enas Daeki in 2023, previously discussed being an older dad after announcing his wife’s pregnancy last year. He said he sometimes, in ‘his weaker moments’, questions whether he waited too long to become a father.

I do consider it because I’ll be somewhere between 70 and 71 when my child will graduate from college! And by the time it graduates, he told MailOnline, I’ll be somewhere around 75.

I consider whether I’ll be still in good health and well.

He also acknowledged that Lord Sugar’s son, who would be “alright” with the business mogul, would make the ideal godparent for his child.

Can you imagine the wisdom that child would possess if Lord Sugar were to be their godparent, he continued.
