Nina Wadia looks fabulous! The former EastEnders star unveiled her trim new figure on Thursday’s Loose Women, having lost nearly two stone through healthy eating. While discussing her brand new US role in NBC sitcom Champions, she was jokingly asked by panellist Jane Moore whether it was a "Hollywood transformation?" Nina went on to reveal that she had lost a staggering 26 pounds, saying: "It was a lifestyle change. I saw myself in a movie I did last summer and I looked like I had ate myself in it so I thought, I really need to change."
