Jacqueline Jossa has “shocked herself” with her recent health kick.
The 31-year-old EastEnders actress decided to look after her physical health for the sake of her mental wellbeing but doesn’t even recognise herself now and is amazed that she managed to stick to the regime in the first place.
She told OK! Magazine: “It was more for my head, for my mental health, to be honest. And I’m just loving it. I didn’t think I’d be able to stick to it, because I’m generally one of those that goes for a week and then stops, but I’m truly loving it. I don’t know who I am. I shock myself sometimes!”

Meanwhile, the former I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! winner made a return to her signature role as Lauren Branning in EastEners and is thrilled that “absolute legends” such as Tracy-Ann Oberman and Louisa Lytton will also be heading back to Wallford in time for the soap’s 40th anniversary next year.

She said: “Walford holds a special place in my heart, so it really does feel like coming home. Yes, some old faces are back in Albert Square. Some absolute legends in the game, so that’s really cool. I love.”
Producer Chris Clenshaw is “delighted” that Jacqueline has returned to the show as he teased that there is “plenty of unfinished business” for her character.
He said: “I’m delighted to welcome Jacqueline back to the role of Lauren Branning. We only saw Lauren on-screen a few of months ago, but her return left plenty of unfinished business between her and the Beales.
“The Branning family have a long history of being at the heart of the drama in Walford, and we’re thrilled to have Jacqueline back in the Square as she continues that family tradition.”
