If there is any doubt left that Natalie Cassidy’s weight loss was not all that it seems, these pictures of the slimmed down star on the beach in Portugal will put rest to that.
The former EastEnders star is enjoying a sunshine break, but it appears she’s taking no chances on slipping up with the diet - as she took her personal trainer with her.
The 24-year-old actress whose fitness DVD has become the biggest selling celebrity DVD ever, not only dumped her dowdy character Sonia Jackson when she left the soap after 13 years, she famously lost two-and-a-half stone.
There were rumblings that she had begun to regain some of the weight after she was seen dressed in an unflattering outfit, but clearly that was a blip as Natalie appeared on the beach in a tiny black bikini, which showed there was not extra inch of flab to pinch.
Itsy bitsy blue bikini: The 5ft 4in celebrity has dropped from a size 16 to an incredible size 8 which she attributed to an intense fitness regime and paying attention to her diet
"I don’t feel as if I’m depriving myself any more. I don’t want to eat crispy pork belly or liver and chips, which I would have eaten before," says Natalie.
"I’ve tried loads of diets and I’d think: ‘I’ve finished the diet, now I’ll go back to how I used to eat.’ But I feel I’ve cracked it - I’m maintaining my weight, which is the hardest thing."
Now Natalie, who lost the weight through exercising with personal trainer Dee Thresher, and her own diet, feels she’s found a balance which means she’s not depriving herself.
"I’ll have a gin and slimline tonic, I don’t eat carbs in the evening, I’ll snack on low-fat yogurt and blueberries and I’ll do my DVD (Natalie’s Then And Now Workout, £19.99) three times a week."
