Claire Sweeney has vowed to ditch the scales after losing "nearly a stone" in just two days.
The Brookside star, 51, is currently performing in Cabaret All Stars in London. Shows have seen the star wow audiences in fabulous costumes amid numerous outfit changes.
On Tuesday, Claire said she "bloody loves eating" but wants to be out of her Spanx by the end of the cabaret shows in July. She told her Instagram followers: "Love being curvy, but wanna feel fitter, stronger and shifting a little bit of timber won’t go amiss lol".

She also told a friend she had gained weight during lockdown in one of the comments on the post, and said it was "hard" to get back "on the wagon".
