Joining celebrity pals at the Royal Garden Hotel in London, Lorraine glammed up for the Paul Strank Summer Party, an annual charity gala supporting underprivileged children.

Wearing a stunning silver dress, Lorraine swept back her blonde hair and couldn’t stop smiling as she posed in a silver and white gown.

Completing the look with silver shoes and a simple pair of dangly earrings, Lorraine was clearly ready for a night of fun.

Lorraine revealed in May that she had undergone a gastric sleeve procedure amid speculation her weight loss was down to popular jabs like Ozempic, which have become a common way to shed weight quickly.

A gastric sleeve is a weight loss procedure that removes a significant portion of the stomach, creating a smaller, sleeve-shaped pouch.

In March, she revealed that she had lost five stone in total, after embracing a new healthier ‘clean living’ lifestyle and hiring a personal trainer.

She has since been showing off her slender figure at events, as well as TikTok videos with her 10-year-old daughter.

Lorraine has also said she is getting back in the saddle when it comes to auditions after leaving EastEnders after seven years.

The actress admitted to her followers that she was being “highly critical” as she “struggled” with having to try out for new jobs after a long time of working on one project.

She said: “I’ll get there, it’s a struggle watching yourself back & not being highly critical on yourself… just let it go & send it.”

The star shared a photo of a makeshift ‘audition room’ in her loft where she had been preparing to record self-taped audition videos for brand new roles.

She also credited Zack Morris – who played her onscreen son Keegan on EastEnders – for helping her get to grips with making her own videos to grab the attention of casting directors.
