"This is back in 2013, having dinner with my brother Liam. I had just finished @bbcstrictly and it’s obvious 'no s*** Sherlock' that I was absolutely, undoubtedly, insanely….addicted to fake tan!!!
"I look friggin insane!!!! That’s at least four layers on top of four layers not properly washed off!!!"
She added: "This photo is reason to always tell the absolute, absolute, absolute, absolute, absolute truth to the ones you love and care about. Tough love is the people I bloody love in this world."
Co-stars loved the throwback picture, with many taking to the comments to gently tease Lisa over her "green" look.
Strictly's Robin Windsor wrote: "Copper pipe, babe." Actress Dani Harmer said: "I love the fact you always looked green in our pics."
And Emmerdale's Karen Blick commented: "This is a belter!"
It comes after Lisa was inundated with praise after sharing an "honest" picture of herself that "normalises the joys of womanhood". The star said she regularly removes the hair on her upper lip and shared a picture of herself doing exactly that before heading on a trip to the Yorkshire coast with fiancé Al back in February.
