‘Birds of a Feather’ star sheds over three stone

Her weight loss in only four months, comes in the wake of her friend and sitcom co-star Pauline Quirke’s dramatic slimming.

Robson showed off her new size 12 figure in a photoshoot for Woman magazine, and said she had even started borrowing her teenage daughter’s outfits.

The star, who has dropped from 14-and-a-half stone to 11 stone, admitted she had not really realised how big she was.

‘When I was told: ‘You’re no longer obese,’ I replied: ‘I didn’t know I was,” she told the magazine.

Quirke recently stunned many people by losing eight-and-a-half stone, and like Robson she followed the Lighter Life plan.

Robson, who admitted the dramatic change had not been easy, said: “At my heaviest I was 15 stone, but I hid it well. I wore bias cut skirts and I always wore scarves.

“I used to be a size 20 on my top half (because I’ve got big boobs that I hate) but now Pauline and I are both size 12. How amazing is that? I joke, ‘It’ll be Lesley Joseph (who played Dorian in Birds of a Feather) who’s the fat one now’.

“Now that I’ve lost weight, I feel so much better, much more confident. It takes me less time to get ready because I’m not trying to cover up bits of my body any more.”
