No more plus sizes for EastEnders' Charlie
Wednesday, 30th July 2008
EastEnders' Charlie Brooks has vowed never to buy a dress above a size 10 again.
The actress - who recently returned to her role as Janine Butcher in the BBC One soap - is so determined to maintain her new slim figure that she has changed her entire wardrobe.
She said: "I'll never go over 9st again - not ever.
"I won't buy a dress above a size 10 because that way, I know I've got to keep like this to fit into it.
"It's goodbye jelly belly, hello cheekbones!
"And that's how it's going to stay."
Charlie also said she keeps a picture of her former, larger self in a bikini on her mobile phone to motivate herself when she is feeling low.

She told New! magazine: "After I put a stone back on, I took a picture of myself each week in the bikini I plan to wear this summer.
"I then kept it on my mobile phone as an incentive to achieve my goal weight.
"I'd do my own 45-minute exercise routine four times a week and at the end of each week, I looked a little bit slimmer.
"I must say, it always baffles me as to where the weight goes!
"You half expect to find a pile of it in a corner somewhere."
