    She first shot to stardom in Coronation Street back in 2002 when she took on her now infamous role of Katy Harris. <\/p>\n

    During her time on the ITV cobbles, actress Lucy-Jo Hudson found herself at the centre of one of the show\u2019s most-talked about storylines. <\/p>\n

    Her character struck up a relationship with Martin Platt who was 20 years her senior. Her character later went on to kill her father after he convinced her to abort Martin\u2019s child in a dramatic soap exit.<\/p>\n

    Now, the brunette beauty has returned to Soapland, this time in Hollyoaks when she joined the show now tackling the character of Donna-Marie back in 2018.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    But it\u2019s fair to say actress Lucy-Jo Hudson looks worlds away from her 2002 Weatherfield character, with the TV star now glowing with fans forced to do a double take after her staggering weight loss. <\/p>\n

    As Lucy-Jo says goodbye to the Channel 4 village after five years on the soap, Daily Star has taken a deep dive inside her weight loss journey over the years.<\/p>\n

    Wedding confession<\/h3>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The actress has always been fit and healthy after she trained as a professional dancer before she found herself in the world of acting.<\/p>\n

    But she really decided to shed the pounds ahead of her big wedding to her Corrie co-star Alan Halsall.<\/p>\n

    The former flames first locked eyes on set back in 2002, before they made the decision to tie the knot seven years later.<\/p>\n

    In the build up to their wedding day, Lucy made it her mission to lose weight so that she could \u201clook her best\u201d for the big day.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    At the time, she told Daily Mail: \u201cI lost weight because every bride wants to look their best, so I started looking after my health more.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI started exercising too and I've sort of kept it up. Cardio never seemed to work with me but now I do a lot more resistance work with weights and squats and lunges. I think the more muscle you have, the more fat you burn.\u201d<\/p>\n

    It\u2019s clear to see all her hard work had paid off after she dropped from a size 14 down to a size eight, shedding an eye-watering two stone.<\/p>\n

    Transformed diet<\/h3>\n

    <\/p>\n

    But her success wasn\u2019t without some major changes to her diet, with the star completely transforming her eating habits following a diet of mainly \u201cstodge and ready meals\u201d.<\/p>\n

    She also admitted to frequently snacking during work, but now Lucy-Jo opts for smaller, lighter meals more frequently.<\/p>\n

    The actress explained: \u201cNow, I'll eat little and often instead of having big meals. I\u2019ll have six mini meals a day just to keep the metabolism kicking in.\u201d<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    However, Lucy-Jo made sure to note that she doesn\u2019t deprive herself of a few cheeky treats every once in a while and admitted she still has a massive sweet tooth.<\/p>\n

    She went on: \u201cI don\u2019t deprive myself – I love chocolate so I have a little bit every day. It helps not being a big drinker too because if I was drinking a lot I would be a lot bigger.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Healthy workout regime<\/h3>\n

    <\/p>\n

    While Lucy-Jo has successfully managed to keep the weigh off and transform her figure, she\u2019s also been able to maintain a healthier lifestyle long term.<\/p>\n

    The soap star looked just as incredible after she welcomed her daughter Sienna-Rae back in 2013, proudly showing off her hard work when she got back into shape in no time.<\/p>\n

    Following her split from Alan five years later, the actress reportedly hired a personal trainer to help with a series of new intense workouts.<\/p>\n

    At the time, a source told The Mirror: \u201cShe was scared her diet and fitness might slip after the breakdown of her marriage and decided to enlist the help of a personal trainer to keep her mind and body healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Lucy-Jo has since welcomed a gorgeous son with her current partner Lewis Devine back in 2020, with the TV star regularly showing off the tot and her impressive post-baby body online.<\/p>\n
