Actress and EastEnders star, Natalie Cassidy, wows in slimming gold knit jumper
Natalie Cassidy, best known for her role as Sonia Fowler on EastEnders, looked absolutely stunning as she enjoyed a festive date night with her fiancé, Marc. The 40-year-old actress showed off her incredible weight loss in a gold knit jumper and fitted jeans, posing in front of a beautifully decorated Christmas tree.
Running to a healthier lifestyle
Natalie has completely transformed her appearance after taking up running. The star has not only completed an impressive four marathons, but has also taken part in two half marathons. In a heartfelt message to her fans, she shared her journey and the challenges she has faced along the way.
"I have always been ridiculed for my ever-changing weight. But I’ve woken up this morning and genuinely cannot believe I’ve collected these medals. I promise you - I am not a natural runner. If you put your mind to something, you can do it."
Natalie's message is an inspiration to anyone facing their own challenges. She encourages her fans to believe in themselves and reminds them that their minds are powerful tools in achieving their goals.
On-screen and off-screen transformations
While Natalie has been making strides in her personal fitness journey, her EastEnders character, Sonia, is also going through a transformation of her own. Sonia is embarking on a journey to have a child with Reiss Colwell, played by Jonny Freeman.
Sonia and Reiss have had a shaky romance, as he has been secretive about his past. Earlier this year, Sonia discovered that he was married. However, in a devastating twist, Reiss' wife has been left bedridden after a stroke. Now, the couple is considering IVF, but fans are concerned about the potential consequences.
As Natalie continues to inspire others with her weight loss journey, fans eagerly anticipate the next chapter in her character's life on EastEnders.
