EastEnders have revealed a first-look at Sharon’s first steps back on the Square in which Letitia’s sensational weight loss takes centre stage.
The iconic actress looked fantastic as she displayed her incredibly trimmed-down figure.
She donned a smart black top as well as a pair of figure-hugging leggings.
A teaser of her return was shared on the soap’s social media account in which fans flocked to comment on how well she was looking.
One fan penned: “She looks incredible.”
Someone else added: “And as gorgeous as ever. The Queen is back.”
Before a third wrote: “Welcome back Sharon.”
In the scene, Sharon can be seen arriving back on the Square and clocking Zoe Slater, played by Michelle Ryan, for the first time since her return.
Sharon and Zoe have not been face-to-face in 20 years.
Zoe famously tried to trap Sharon’s adoptive half-brother and lover, Dennis, into being her partner by claiming to be pregnant by him.

Dennis’ father Den then offers to impregnate Zoe and pass it off as his son’s baby in order to ensure Dennis remains with her and not Sharon.
Zoe is later in cahoots with Chrissie Watts and they plen a revenge on Den which led to Zoe believing she had killed him.
It soon transpires that Chrissie was responsible.
Weight Woes
Last year, actress Leitita got candid on how she had ditched the weight and just how much she had lost.
Rather than relying on quick fixes and trendy diets, she focused on making sustainable lifestyle changes.
She admitted that it was essential for her to break free from her worst habit, junk food, which had been holding her back for years.

The actress went from weighing 10st 4lbs to 8st 3lbs, losing a reported four dress sizes in only four months.
“It was incredible. I found I had so much more energy than when I used to eat junk food,” Letitia told Closer.
Now Letitia has made lasting changes and loves eating “grilled skinless chicken” and “lots of greens.”
She continued: “The main reason I wanted to do something about my figure was that I was so sick of extreme dieting and my weight yo-yoing.
“I just woke up one morning, and I’d had enough. For years and years – as long as I can remember – my weight had yo-yoed up and down. I’d go on fad diets like Atkins or I’d only eat eggs.”
Letitia confessed to trying different diets before, like the ‘yo-yo diet,’ where she claimed to have lost a stone in just a few weeks.
However, she admitted that it wasn’t sustainable and she soon fell back into her old habits.
The BBC star now maintains a well-balanced diet, consuming around 1,300 calories daily.
She also exercises, runs and does boxing to stay fit.
