Lisa Riley previously revealed that she had four surgeries to remove loose skin following her 12 stone weight loss.
The Emmerdale star, who has always been open about her struggles with her weight, recently spoke about considering weight-loss jabs during an appearance on Loose Women.
However, back in 2020, Lisa revealed that she’d gone from a size 28 to a size 12 thanks to good old-fashioned diet and exercise, and lost so much weight that she was forced under the knife to deal with almost a stone and a half of loose skin.

Speaking to the Mirror in 2020, Lisa – on Tipping Point this weekend (May 17) – revealed surgeons removed almost one and a half stone of excess skin after her weight loss.
She said: “People forget how gigantic I was. With the skin removal I lost 12 stone, one pound. The surgeon chopped off one stone, four pounds.”
Lisa went under the knife in 2017 for excess skin removal after shedding 11 stone as she spoke to the Mirror three years on from the procedure. She revealed that she actually ended up having four more surgery procedures done to fix the loose skin.
She underwent a fleur de lis tummy tuck, got rid of her bingo wings, had a boob lift, and removed excess skin from her thighs.
She added: “Of course every single day I get accused of having a gastric band. I read all the nasty comments and think, why am I even looking at this? I did it through good old-fashioned willpower, driven by me finally wanting to buy nice clothes and underwear.”
Lisa’s transformation took 18 months. It saw her ditch takeaways and unhealthy snacks, swapping them for regular gym sessions and nutritious meals.
