EastEnders' Lucy Beale says huge weight loss was not due to diet or exercise amid 'very frustrating' health condition


Melissa Suffield, who played Lucy Beale in EastEnders, has revealed that she has been diagnosed with a health issue that has caused her to lose a fair amount of weight

Former EastEnders actress Melissa Suffield has candidly spoken about her unexpected weight loss journey, revealing that it wasn't the result of a new diet or exercise plan. Despite now being able to fit into her old wardrobe, the soap star, who welcomed her son River in March 2020, confessed that the weight loss and illness have stripped away "no joy" from her life, and she's far from thrilled with her slimmer figure, even if others might envy it.
