Lisa Riley, known for her role as Mandy Dingle in the long-running ITV soap opera Emmerdale since 1995, has openly shared her impressive weight loss story. She went from a size 28 to a size 12 in just 18 months, shedding 12 stone through a dedicated lifestyle change.
Lisa is rumored to be participating in the next series of I'm A Celebrity..., where she might have to adjust her diet again. During her time in the jungle, she could be eating simpler meals like rice and beans and facing unusual foods in the Bushtucker trials, such as fish eyeballs and kangaroo testicles.
Despite her weight loss success, Lisa has been candid about dealing with the difficult aspect of excess skin. She revealed that these skin folds weighed more than 1.5 stone.
"What happened was I decided to lose weight for me."
In 2017, Lisa appeared on This Morning alongside Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield. She discussed her weight loss journey and her documentary Lisa Riley's Baggy Body Club, which highlights her pursuit of a healthier lifestyle.
