EastEnders star Letitia Dean showed off her slim figure as she posed up a storm at the National Television Awards on Tuesday night.
The actress, 58, who previously told how she dropped four dress sizes, wowed in an off-the-shoulder black mini dress which she teamed with shiny black heels.
Letitia has played Sharon Watts on the soap since 1985 and joined her co-stars Jacqueline Jossa and Kellie Bright to celebrate the biggest night in British television.
Letitia took to Instagram to share her photos and enjoyed drinks with Jacqueline, Kellie and Kitty Castledine.
She also posed for a sweet photo with James Farrar, who starred as Zach Hudson in EastEnders before moving to Hollyoaks.
Letitia previously spoke about how she dropped two stone, from 10st 4lb to 8st 3lb and also dropped four dress sizes.

The soap star lost weight in just one year by prioritizing her health and wellbeing and cutting out junk food completely.
In recent years, Letitia has prioritized her health and well-being and ditched one of her bad habits.
Letitia admitted that she has tried “faddy diets” in the past, which never worked, but after ditching junk food, she is now starting to feel better.
Speaking to Closer in 2007, the soap star said: ‘It was incredible. I noticed I had so much more energy than when I ate junk food.”
Now Letitia has made long-term changes and enjoys “grilled skinless chicken” and “lots of greens.”
She said: ‘The main reason I wanted to do something about my figure was because I was so tired of extreme dieting and yo-yo weight.
‘I just woke up one morning and I had had enough. For years – as long as I can remember – my weight went up and down. I would follow a diet like Atkins, or I would just eat eggs.”
Letitia noted that she ‘lost a stone in a few weeks on the yo-yo dieting’, but admitted this was not sustainable and she quickly fell back into her old habits.
Now the BBC star has revealed that she is sticking to a well-balanced diet, sticking to 1,300 calories a day, and supplementing her healthy diet with exercises such as running and boxercise.

According to the NHS website, the recommended calorie intake is generally around 2,000 calories per day for women and 2,500 calories per day for men.
In 2024, Letitia was forced to attack online scammers for using her profile to sell slimming pills.
A source close to Letitia told the Daily Mail: ‘It is complete nonsense for B+ Weight Management or any other slimming brand to claim that Letitia has given permission for her image to be used.
‘This advert and product have absolutely no relevance to Letitia and she urges potential customers to do their research before purchasing any weight loss products, especially those that claim to use celebrity endorsements.’
The adverts for B+ Weight Management’s slimming pills are pushed onto Facebook and when interested people click on a link they are taken to a fake interview with Letitia in which she claims the pills made her ‘lose five stone in two weeks’.
