EastEnders’ Lorraine Stanley wows in white wedding dress after losing 5st as she celebrates marriage with glass of fizz
The newlyweds have been together for 11 years and have finally tied the knot
EASTENDERS star Lorraine Stanley looked incredible in her wedding dress after losing a whopping five stone.
The soap star, 49, was snapped celebrating her marriage with a glass of fizz, as she showed off her newly slimmed-down figure in her beautiful white gown.
Lorraine, who is best known for playing Karen Taylor on EastEnders, tied the knot yesterday with her partner of 11 years, Mark Perez.
The happy couple – who started dating back in 2014 – were seen looking every inch the smitten newlyweds as they emerged from the church in Harpenden, Hertfordshire.
Mark looked dapper in his green suit, but all eyes were on the bride as she showed off her incredible figure, in her gorgeous wedding dress,
Lorraine has recently shed a five stone, and her white gown certainly showed this off.
The soap star, who was on EastEnders from 2017 to 2024, opted for a white ruffled gown.
Lorraine accessorised with a traditional veil and pearl jewellery.
As a sweet added touch, she was seen with a white handbag that had ‘Mrs’ written on it in diamante.
To commemorate the occasion, Lorraine was seen sipping on some champagne as she celebrated being Mark’s wife.
The actress showcased her new wedding band as she chatted with guests following the ceremony.
Lorraine looked the picture of happiness as she was surrounded by her friends and family to mark the very special day.
One of her EastEnders co-stars even made an appearance with Keanu Taylor actor Danny Walters cheering the star on.
Lorraine and Danny played mother and son on the BBC soap opera across a span of eight years.
The actress’ actual daughter Nancy, ten, who she shares with Mark, looked adorable in her flower girl dress.
Lorraine looked a far cry from her days as Karen on EastEnders and her elegant dress showed off her huge weight loss.
In a desperate bid to change her appearance and feel healthier, the star embarked on an epic weight loss journey courtesy of fat jabs and surgery.
Lorraine has admitted that using weight-loss injections wasn’t for her after becoming “immune” to them.
In a new interview, she confessed to using Wegovy, a weight-loss jab similar to Ozempic and Mounjaro, but she failed to find her desired figure on the medication.
Lorraine told the Mirror: “I’d tried Wegovy. I have friends on different weight-loss jabs and they work for them.
“I’m not against them, but for whatever reason I feel like I got immune to them.
“It got to the point where I was injecting myself and eating at the same time.
“I was thinking, “What the hell are you doing?” So I decided that was it, time to get this surgery booked.”
Lorraine then decided she wanted to go the surgery route, and shelled out “thousands” to undergo weight-loss surgery at a top Harley Street clinic in London.
The actress confessed: “I’m not going to lie, nor am I promoting it, but I had weight-loss surgery two years ago.
“I had a gastric sleeve. I went to Harley Street. I didn’t go to a clinic in Turkey or anything.
“In saying that, I’ve had friends who’ve gone to Turkey and had great experiences, but I didn’t trust that process.
“So, yeah, I went to a London clinic, paid an awful lot of money and had it done. It’s hands-down the best thing I’ve ever done – both for me and for my family.”
