Coronation Street star Lisa George has shown off her dramatic weight loss on social media.
The 51-year-old actress is best known for her role as the Underworld knicker-stitcher in the ITV soap, but appeared worlds apart from her alter ego in a new Instagram post.
Beth is known for wearing leopard print outfits or denim jackets and often sports a blonde updo with pigtails, but Lisa opted for a stylish white jacket and pink mini skirt off set.
Showing off her now tiny waist and slender legs, she captioned the photo: ‘Pink and cream are here to stay’
In a second selfie, the actress wrote, “Twiggy style with a pin,” a nod to the fashion icon who was so named for her stick-thin figure.

The 51-year-old actress is best known for her role as the Underworld knicker-stitcher in Coronation Street, but in a new Instagram post she seemed worlds apart.
Earlier this year, Lisa told MailOnline that her weight loss was due to the menopause and that she was ‘enjoying’ her new weight.
She said: ‘I’ve been through menopause, use a sensor to monitor my blood sugar levels and manage my diabetes and I’ve completely changed my diet.
‘I have always eaten very healthy, but because of my eye problems and diabetes I went to a nutritionist.
‘I’ve cut so much out of my diet and am now a stone lighter than I was last year. I love the weight I’m at now. I went out on Friday and wore a velvet suit that was a size 10. I haven’t worn a size 10 since I was 28!’
Lisa arrived on the cobbles in 2011 for a failed date with taxi driver Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) and later married Kirk Sutherland (Andy Whyment), although the marriage was annulled when it emerged she was not divorced from her first husband.
Her son Craig is played by Celebrity Big Brother star Colson Smith, who has also made huge efforts to lose weight.
In 2019, she faced one of her most dramatic storylines when her character’s niece Sinead Tinker (Katie McGlynn) was diagnosed with cancer and eventually passed away.

Before landing the role of Beth, the former Dancing On Ice contestant appeared in episodes of Casualty and Emmerdale and played a teacher in the TV adaptation of Jacqueline Wilson’s novel The Illustrated Mum.
At the end of last year it was reported that Lisa had decided to quit the soap after 13 years.
According to The SunLisa’s farewell story will air in the summer and will be ‘just as dramatic as she is’.
And just before that, Lisa had explained that she would like to participate in drama series such as Call The Midwife.
