Lisa Riley, best known for her role as Mandy Dingle in the long-running ITV soap opera Emmerdale, has openly shared her impressive weight loss story. Over 18 months, she went from a size 28 to a size 12, shedding 12 stone through a combination of lifestyle changes.
Lisa’s commitment to these changes helped her achieve this major transformation, though she revealed it was not without struggles. She faced the challenge of dealing with over 1.5 stone of excess skin after losing the weight.
Lisa is rumored to be joining the next series of I'm A Celebrity..., where her diet might shift to simpler foods like rice and beans. Participation in Bushtucker trials could also put her to the test with unusual foods such as fish eyeballs and kangaroo testicles.
