Actress Natalie Cassidy lost a dramatic four stone while she promoted her popular weight-loss DVD - but she ended up regretting it in the immediate aftermath.
The star, who is best known for her role as Sonia Fowler in BBC's EastEnders, has struggled with food and exercise, reports the Mirror. She has also been open about her weight loss journey, even when she gained excess fat.
The 40-year-old soap star released two weight-loss DVDs - Natalie Cassidy's Then and Now in 2007 and The Perfect Ten - but branded them a "mistake" soon after.
She admitted she regrets signing up to the £100,000 DVD deal, despite this bumper wage deal. Natalie revealed she was offered the large amount of cash to shed the weight in a short period of time, but ended up putting it all back on after signing it.
Speaking on the Comfort Eating with Grace Dent podcast in August 2022, the actress said: "I was very overweight and they approached me and said 'Listen, we're going to give you £100,000, we're going to get you really fit and you're going to lose four stone'.
"I was like happy days, let's go for it. I just thought, that's a lot of money; but it wasn't the right thing to do. It wasn't - you are losing a lot of weight in a three or four-month period, twelve or sixteen weeks, low calories and training every day.
"I got there, and as soon as that DVD came out, I ate for England. I put all the weight back on in eight weeks."
She also joked that she could have a supermodel body like Kate Moss if it wasn't for her love of mayonnaise. Natalie also opened up about being fat-shamed as she took part in Strictly Come Dancing in 2009.
Talking about how she felt "ridiculed" while on the show, she explained she was "about four stone bigger than I am now".
