The actress, who’s been a part of the long-running drama since she was 17, has been involved in some of the show’s biggest storylines including the upcoming Christmas twist.
During Tuesday night’s episode (25 July), viewers witnessed Sharon battle with former lover Keanu over his hasty decision to try and take daughter Peggy.

A fourth added: “All I want is a Sharon Watts style weight loss transformation, is that too much to ask?!”
Meanwhile, another viewer said: “Letitia Dean lost two stone of weight without using any weight loss pills or surgery, after being mocked for her size and assured she was too fat. Comparing her before and after pictures, the 55-year-old star now looks much healthier..”
It is believed Letitia went from weighing 10st 4lb to 8st 3lb last year, going down an incredible four dress sizes in total.

The actress previously spoke openly about her weight loss, after revealing she’d received cruel comments from trolls regarding her size.
In 2020, Letitia opened up on EastEnders’ spin-off show Secrets from the Square and said: “I had quite a lot of horrible things said about me: ‘She’s too fat, the other actors complain they can’t fit on the same set with her.”
Letitia managed to lose the pounds by sticking to a healthy diet and regular exercise.
The soap star previously told Closer magazine that running and boxercise are now “two of her favourite things”.
EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday on BBC One and BBC iPlayer
