Former EastEnders star Lorraine flaunted the results of her hard work while making the most of the heatwave as she took her pooch for a stroll.
Lorraine looked stylish in a blue dress that was nipped in at the waist and fell to just above the knee.
She covered up in a pair of huge sunglasses and teamed her outfit with some casual flip flops.
It was revealed in July 2023 that Lorraine was being written out of EastEnders after playing iconic character Karen Taylor for seven years.
She later opened up about her sudden exit from the soap, confessing to experiencing a 'mix of emotions' after receiving the news.
Lorraine told The Sun: 'I was sad, it was a mix of emotions, it's sad but it's exciting as now I can go and do what I want.
"You can get a bit relaxed there and a bit comfortable. So I want to be out of my comfort zone.
'I just want people to remember her as the best mum on the square, a heart of gold, she'd give you her last fiver and would do anything for her kids - a bit like myself.'
But it wasn't long before Lorraine landed a huge new role, in gritty British film Departures.
She starred alongside fellow soap legends Hollyoaks hunk David Tag and Coronation Street's Kimberly Hart-Simpson.
EastEnders' Lorraine Stanley looks slimmer than ever after dramatic five stone weight loss
Last week Lorraine was forced to hit back after a cruel troll branded her a "grandma" following her incredible weight loss.
In a new TikTok video, she danced with daughter Nancy and even included '#motherdaughter' on her post.
That didn't stop one person from making a savage assumption, when they wrote: 'Is that your granddaughter?'
But actress Lorraine was quick to hit back: 'Daughter. #motherdaughter is a bit of a clue."

In a short clip that was recently shared online, Liv demonstrated how she and her partner 'eliminated the Live, Laugh, Love' from their 'pre-loved Haven home.' Showing off the caravan soon after she bought it, which had been 'abused and battered by Haven guests over the years' and is on the Green Acres Caravan Park in Carlisle, Cumbria, Liv penned: 'Our static caravan was giving sad, beige energy, so we decided to give it a makeover.' Then, alongside clips of her partner ripping up wallpaper, painting and adding panelling to the wall, Liv added: 'A home from home vibe, starting with our daughter's room.' Showing off the finished result - a pretty, purple room that is super cute and is sure to be a little one's dream, Liv stressed: 'Caravans don't have to be basic and beige.' In a follow-up clip, Liv confirmed that she was able to add colour to her daughter's caravan bedroom with paint in the shade Dusted Fondant by Dulux. She got the checkerboard bedding from Asda, the cushions from TikTok Shop and H&M and wall stickers from Vinted. Not only this, but Liv explained that she got her little darling's ice cream light from TikTok shop, the prints from Etsy and a rug from B&M. The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @liv_v_h, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 278,400 views, 14,800 likes and 83 comments. DIY fans were stunned by the caravan's bedroom makeover and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this. Take a look around Holly & James caravan One person said: 'That's gorgeous.' Another added: 'It's beautiful.' Why caravan holidays are so underrated CARAVAN park holidays are a British staple. And with the cost of living crisis wreaking havoc on Britain's purses, more of us are turning to them for an affordable break. Josie O'Brien, Senior Digital Writer on Fabulous, weighs in on why she thinks caravan holidays are seriously underrated... WHEN I was a child, my mum used to collect the £9.50 holiday vouchers in The Sun. She'd use them to book a couple of nights away at a caravan park during the school holidays. As an adult, I fully appreciate the convenience of a humble caravan holiday. No faffing about with passports, no luggage limits and no bog-standard hotel breakfast of stale toast and grey eggs. I still love caravan holidays as an adult. In a world of doing everything for the 'gram, a caravan park brings you back to basics. There's no obligation to get dressed up, no stress to fit a million picturesque excursions in one week and I don't find myself flustered in tourist hot spots like abroad. I love going to coastal caravan parks and strolling along the beach parade. My highlight is always fresh mussels, ice-creams and classic pubs to grab an afternoon tipple in. And then, of course, there's the cost. Staying in a caravan is definitely way cheaper than my international trips. With no expensive hotel bills and the ability to cook my own meals, I'm spending hundreds less than I would abroad. I've had some of my best and most relaxing holidays in caravans. Maybe I'll buy my own one day. Whilst a third simply gasped: 'Wow!' Not only this, but someone else chimed in and asked: "How the hell do they get the beds in and out?" Carvans don't have to be basic and beige Liv In response, Liv wrote back and confirmed: "They bend like cardboard I swear they're rubbish." As well as this, another user questioned: "What happens when u sell the caravan?" To this, Liv clarified: "We don't plan to sell. If we can't keep it on Haven anymore I will move it to private land."

King Charles 'bemused' by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's latest move
King Charles 'bemused' by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's latest move King Charles is said to be 'bemused' by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's latest move as the couple are reportedly in a feud with the British monarch over their children's future King Charles III and Queen Camilla, followed by Princess Anne, Princess Royal, arrive for the Sovereign's Garden Party at the Palace of Holyroodhouse on July 1, 2025 in Edinburgh, Scotland. (Image: Getty Images ) King Charles is reportedly embroiled in another dispute with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, this time concerning their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The British sovereign has found himself at the centre of controversy following revelations that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are seeking new passports for their offspring, hinting at a possible return to working Royal duties in the UK in the future. This development comes as a surprise, especially given Meghan and Harry's high-profile departure from Royal life in 2020 and their subsequent candid remarks about the institution. A confidant of the Sussexes told The Guardian that the intention behind the passport bid was so "when they grow older, they can decide for themselves whether they want to become working royals or stay out of public life." Amidst delays and bureaucratic hurdles in securing the passports, there's speculation that the Duke and Duchess suspect King Charles may be influencing the process. Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, pose for a photo with their newborn baby son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, in St George's Hall at Windsor Castle on May 8, 2019. (Image: POOL/AFP via Getty Images ) Article continues below In response, Buckingham Palace issued a statement denying such involvement: "King Charles, battling cancer and governing an entire monarchy, has better and more important matters to handle than meddling in passport applications," reports the Mirror US. The Daily Mail reports that King Charles is both incredulous and amused by the notion that Archie and Lilibet might assume Royal duties, considering their parents' decision to relinquish such roles in 2020. It is also believed that Prince William, who is next in line to the throne, would prevent Archie and Lilibet from assuming any Royal duties. Article continues below An insider reportedly told The Daily Beast's Tom Sykes about the Prince of Wales's stance, saying: "William obviously isn't going to hire Archie and Lilibet. This is just trolling on the part of Harry and Meghan." Royal commentator Richard Eden, writing for The Daily Mail, noted: "From what I am told, the removal of Archie and Lilibet's HRHs could be part of a wider 'slimming down' of the Monarchy when William becomes King."

Oasis fan encounter that shows Liam Gallagher's true colours
Oasis fan encounter that shows Liam Gallagher's true colours Oasis frontman is known for his swagger and big mouth - but when a pair of teens went to meet him in the 1990s they got more than they bargained for Oasis singer Liam Gallagher is set to perform at Wembley tonight (Image: Europa Press via Getty Images ) Oasis' tenure at the top of British rock has had a long-lasting effect on music and fans, despite their fracturous split back in 2009. While the Gallaghers' relationship with each other over the years has been well documented, the reunion gigs, kicking off in Cardiff on July 4, have given the fans a chance to speak about how Oasis, as well as Liam and Noel, have impacted their lives. New series on BBC Sounds, Mad For Oasis, fronted by Noel's eldest daughter Anais, will do just that - share fans' experiences and memories of the band that first hit the charts and our hearts in the mid-1990s. One megafan, Anthony Lanni, spoke to the show, which you can find here, about the time he and his pal Paul Hannington travelled from their Stevenage home in a bid to try and meet Liam Gallagher. "I was just 15 when this happened," he said. "There wasn't much to do so we just figured let's go on this random quest to London and see if we can go and meet him." They unbelievably managed to track down the star and after 15 minutes they summed up the courage to knock the door. "To say he wasn't happy puts it mildly," said Anthony. "I remember him saying 'you don't just come and knock on my door alright'." But that wasn't the end of it. Liam came out and spoke to the boys. "He sort of apologised for being a bit rude and started chatting to us," Paul said. What happened next is a life lesson in 'don't ask, don't get,' when Anthony saw Liam's platinum discs on the wall in the house. "He handed [one of them] to me," he said. "He said, and I'll never forget these words, 'if you don't ask, you don't get'. "He said I can keep it. It's giving me goosebumps just talking about it. I was in sheer disbelief." Hear the full story from Anthony and Paul here. Anais Gallagher said: 'Obviously, Oasis have always been a big part of my life. But to have the opportunity to hear these incredible stories from people about how their music has impacted their lives has been amazing. I'm thrilled to be a part of it.' Oasis competition: Win tickets to see Oasis at Wembley Tickets for the Oasis reunion sold out across all venues due to huge demand when they went online earlier in the year. However, there are still several options available for fans trying to snag a last-minute spot. Viagogo and resale tickets Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs. Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused. Article continues below Limited last-minute tickets can be bought from the official Ticketmaster resale site, where fans who can no longer go sell their seats, although these tend to go into and out of stock resale sites like Viagogo, Vivid Seats, StubHub and Twickets are selling tickets for various dates with prices from £121, although fans should always bear in mind that many official sites, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, discourage the purchase of resale tickets.
