Furthermore, this is not the first time Letitia has stolen focus, as she flaunted her new body for the cameras. In the past four months, the soap legend has been able to drop four dress sizes and has mentioned that she feels more confident than ever. Dean has been vocal about her issues with body image and fluctuating weight over the years, and in 2022, she disclosed how she had been the target of harsh online trolls.
“I had quite a lot of horrible things said about me,” she said in an episode of the EastEnders spin-off Secrets from the Square. “‘She’s too fat, the other actors complain they can’t fit on the same set with her.'” Through her journey in Albert Square, she has been the subject of intense scrutiny for her weight; this issue grew to an extent that she underwent a breast reduction surgery as a teen.
However, things have improved for her since then, and she is determined not to pay attention to the haters but to continue gracefully with her career. We love how our favourite celebrities go through such normal emotions and express their struggles in public. This definitely helps young kids going through something similar.
