‘Ello Princess, Letitia Dean loses two stone

Yep, fresh on the heels of Natalie Cassidy ratcheting up the scales again, fellow Eastenders alumnus Letitia Dean has dropped two big ones.

As bubble-permed, fluffy-jumpered Sharon Watts, the actress – now 40 – always seemed a strange boxy shape. As the years went by, the weight piled on until Letitia resembled a real life Miss Piggy, without the green boyfriend.

Following a marriage split in 2006, she threw dignity to the wind last year and bounded into BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, didn’t win, didn’t lose and shaved pounds off her figure.

Now she’s starring in tweenager fave High School Musical in the West End and the punishing dance practise and sensible eating has lopped another two stone off. Oh, and she has a swit swoo 23-year-old toyboy with a silly name, Bowen Perrin, too. They met doing Panto. No joke.

Letitia tells Closer mag this week:

“I feel so much sexier now with my new, streamlined body.

“I’ve still got curves though.

“I went from a size 14 to size 10 and I’ve never looked back. I started going to the gym for the first time last year and now I’ve grown to love it - running and boxercise are now my favourite things.

“I lost weight the good old-fashioned way, through dancing and exercise - I didn’t starve myself or resort to some crazy fad diet.”

I smell a DVD…
