Best known for playing Beth Tinker in the ITV soap, Lisa has revealed that she feels self-conscious about the way she looks.
She said: “I’ve kept a low profile in the past because of my poor body image, I was never confident with my body weight and didn’t like how I looked. I didn’t want to be in magazines because the other girls at Corrie are really slim and pretty, and there’s a lot of pressure.”
However, while she has become more toned thanks to her Dancing On Ice training, Lisa has maintained that she won’t be wearing “skimpy” outfits on the show.

Lisa – who suffers from Type 2 diabetes – revealed she is scared that people will “laugh” at her.

Lisa recently revealed that she was left “fuming” at her Corrie co-star Andy Whyment after he failed to tell her he was taking part in the last series of I’m A Celebrity.
