EastEnders legend Cheryl Fergison credits new £7 hobby for recent weight loss
EastEnders legend Cheryl Fergison continues to show off her weightloss, as she revealed her new hobby.
The actor, 57, who played beloved Heather Trott on the soap from 2005 to 2016 has taken up roller blading, describing the exercise as a "real feel good factor."
Cherly shared a photo of herself looking slimmer than ever in a black t-shirt and black and white leggings, smiling outside a rink.
On Instagram, she wrote: "Not been on Roller Skates since I was about 13 years old.
"I wasn’t a bad skater from 7-13 but then never went again until today … the fear of falling now is real.

Last year, Cheryl accused airlines of bodyshaming.
In a video, Cheryl slammed the aircrew on planes for making plus size customers feel embarrassed when they're travelling and begged staff members to "help them out".
The mum-of-one said: "The staff seeing that someone might be a little bit larger... you should know your plane by now and know whether somebody needs a [seatbelt extender] so they don't have to buzz for it or do those things that sometimes makes them feel a bit embarrassed."

"I just think that we are body shaming people so much at the moment. Just help people out and stop flipping well doing this rubbish."
Heather was one of EastEnders most loved characters, known for her loyalty and kindness, and fans were devastated when she was accidently killed by a young Ben Mitchell.
Earlier this year, the star took aim at the BBC soap for its "ridiculous, far-fetched" storylines, which she says "normalise violence".
Cheryl slammed EastEnders for becoming "sensationalised" and said the soap desperately needs to go back to basics and cut down on the amount of killings.
"I am not the morality police but I do think EastEnders has lost its way a little. I think people are craving for something more relatable and familiar rather than sensationalised," she said.

"I remember when Arthur Fowler nicked the Christmas fund was big news. Now it is all about how many people can be stabbed or shot in the Square.
Cheryl Fergison says roller blading is her new hobby (cherylfergison1/Instagram)"I don’t think that’s the right image for soaps to give. I think it is normalising violence to younger people," Cheryl told the Daily Star.
The actress said she was aware soaps try "to educate people on sensitive storylines", but said this is often overshadowed with storylines created for ratings.
She described it as "giving with one hand and then taking with another".
