Some viewers even thought she was still using padding, which led to investigations into why her character's body-type had changed. Lisa Riley said that she gained weight before because she was lazy and ate a lot of junk food while not working out.

Lisa shared with Mirror UK:

"Nobody made me eat 50 Twix bars or a whole packet of sausages at one sitting. I did that to myself. No one made me not go to the gym. Some weeks I was probably having seven takeaways a week. I did that to myself. I have to take responsibility for that."

Fans originally thought Lisa Riley was hiding her weight gain with her costumes, but it turns out she went through a big change in her life and lost a lot of weight by making some lifestyle changes.
