The actress, who played Karen Taylor, stunned followers with her revamped look. The 48-year-old recently shared a snap on Instagram posing with her sister, where she praised her in a heartfelt birthday tribute.

Rocking a boho-chic vibe with an embroidered floral waistcoat over a white vest paired with a long khaki skirt and oversized sunglasses, BBC's own Lorraine looked entirely different as she beamed next to her sibling. She posted the pic with the touching message: "Happy Birthday to my beautiful sister Karen. Love you millions."

In addition to showing off her transformed slender physique, Lorraine was seen cheering at the London Marathon, rooting for snooker player Frankie Jakeway. Sharing a mix of photos and videos from the event on social media, she enjoyed a sunny day out in the capital.

She also struck a pose at various famous spots around town with her partner Mark Perez and their daughter Nancy, born in 2015. The pictures capture her elation as she celebrated Frankie, having finished the grueling 26-mile run, and Lorraine couldn't hide her pride, posting: "Smashed it Jakeway. I couldn't be more proud of you! ! ! I couldn't do it so big respect! And for such an amazing cause Children Cancer UK. We had such a great day. Nancy loved watching you," reports the Mirror.
