She tied the knot with her husband Mark Perez last week, and Lorraine Stanley has already been making the most of her newlywed status.
The EastEnders star, 49, who previously revealed she lost 6.5 stone after undergoing weight loss surgery ahead of her big day, showed off her slimmed-down physique in a snap posted to Instagram Stories on Sunday.
Lorraine slipped into a plunging black swimsuit as she and husband Mark enjoyed their honeymoon at a Champneys Spa.
Carrying her essentials in a tote bag with the label ‘Just Married,’ Lorraine captioned her post: ‘Chuft.’
As her post-wedding weekend came to a close, Lorraine then shared a fun video of herself recreating the famous Morecambe and Wise dance.
Clearly having enjoyed her time away, she captioned the post: ‘Thank you so much @champneysspa for a memorable stay.’
Lorraine tied the knot with long-term partner Mark in a picturesque country ceremony in Harpenden, Hertfordshire on Thursday.
Her gorgeous bridal gown boasted a boat neck and chic polka dot print which she teamed with a traditional veil and pearl jewellery, as she said ‘I do’ 18 months after she was written out of EastEnders.
The actress showcased her new wedding band as she clutched her bouquet and sipped champagne with guests following the ceremony.
Groom Mark, who has been in a relationship with Lorraine for 12 years, could not wipe the smile off his face, looking dapper in a green three-piece suit paired with a crisp white shirt and gold tie.
Meanwhile their daughter Nancy, ten, looked lovely as their flower girl in a pale pink princess dress with flowers in her hair.
The sun-soaked nuptials were attended by family and friends as well as Lorraine’s former on-screen son Danny Walters, who played Keanu before being killed off as part of an explosive Christmas storyline in 2023.
Earlier this month Lorraine revealed that she had weight-loss surgery after becoming ‘immune’ to jabs.
The soap star, who appeared in BBC soap opera EastEnders from 2017 to 2024, has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past two years, shedding an impressive 6.5 stone.
In a recent interview, she opened up about how she achieved her incredibly slimmed-down figure.
Lorraine revealed that she had a gastric sleeve fitted two years ago, explaining to New! magazine: ‘I went to a London clinic, paid an awful lot of money and had it done.
‘It’s hands-down the best thing I’ve ever done – both for me and for my family.’
Lorraine previously tried weight-loss jab Wegovy, but felt it eventually stopped working for her as she became ‘immune’ to it.
She said: ‘It got to the point where I was injecting myself and eating at the same time.’
It comes a month after Lorraine shared an Instagram photo proudly showing off her slimmer frame.
Posting a snap from an event, Lorraine looked gorgeous in a green and pink print co-ord, as she revealed a new milestone in her lifestyle overhaul.
She told fans: ‘I’m five months sober and still had a good night dancing! #Sobriety.’
Lorraine has shared pictures with her social media followers along the way – and revealed she now feels better than ever.
On Instagram at the time, she said: ‘What a difference a year makes. Five stone down, feeling good, clean living, healthy choices, new me, healthy mummy.’
The actress – who lost 12lbs in her first six weeks on the new diet – frequently praised her pal and fitness guru Louise.
She also praises her nutritionist friend who ‘clued her up when it came to what she was eating day-to-day’.
Her gruelling daily workouts and a well-balanced food regime had a positive impact, and Lorraine said of her journey: ‘I’m enjoying it and I feel better for it.’
Spilling her diet hacks while chatting to Woman’s Own magazine, Lorraine said: ‘My mate Louise is my fitness guru. I’ve got her to thank for it.’
The actress recalled: ‘I’ve eaten a lot of boiled eggs, fish, chicken, no carbs, no crisps and no chocolate.’
