Lisa admits that the catalyst that pushed her into making a change was losing her mother and three other family members to cancer, and seeing her dad diagnosed with diabetes.

Speaking on Loose Women after her weight loss, Lisa said: “Seeing my dad have prostate cancer… but he was on a hospital ward with 21 other men who all had type 2 diabetes.

"I thought, that’s the next stage. I don’t want to be that statistic and I got the fear factor. A light-bulb went off in my head because I don’t want to be that."

And now she's revealed that cutting alcohol out of her life has had such a positive impact on her body that she may not touch it ever again.

She recently had an alcohol-free 40th birthday bash.

Lisa told The Daily Mirror: “I feel so much better for not drinking. Now I don’t think I’ll ever drink again. I never say never, but at the moment I don’t think I will. This is what baffles me most – not drinking doesn’t bother me at all.”

Adding: I’m still the life and soul of the party and dancing until the wee small hours. If you’d told me I would toast my 40th birthday with a glass of water, I’d have thought you were crackers."

We LOVE that Lisa Riley has opted for such a healthy and attainable weight loss regime - she looks incredible.
