Corrie's Lucy-Jo Hudson shows off weight loss after 'mentally exhausting' 30-day challenge
Lucy-Jo Hudson has shown off the results of her impressive weight loss after undergoing a gruelling 30-day challenge. The Coronation Street star, 42, who played Katie Harris in the ITV soap, has dropped nine pounds, which she says has left her in a "better frame of mind".
Captioning the snaps in which she poses in a black sports crop top and shorts, 30 days apart, Lucy-Jo explained she'd been training and prepping healthy meals, sharing : "This is me, real, raw, mum of two, prioritising her health for the first time.
"From Day 1 to Day 30, 9lbs dropped, inches lost, posture changed, confidence built, leaner and stronger and in a better frame of mind…" It comes as fellow Corrie star Helen Flanagan showed off her fabulous figure in a nautical bikini.

Lucy-Jo continued: "I have showcased the ups and the downs of the past 30 days as you know. It has been physically tough, mentally exhausting, and I haven't been perfect."
"Juggling kids, work, training, and trying to find time to prep meals in between everything else'.
"But here's what I've learnt: You don't have to be 100% to make progress. Small steps add up. It's not easy - but it is worth it."
Before adding: "This is for every mum who feels like there's never enough time for herself. You can do it. It might take time, it might not be perfect, but it's possible - and your health is worth fighting for."
Responding to her post, Lucy-Jo's followers sent their congratulations, including Hollyoaks star, Gemma Atkinson, who responded with a number of applauding emojis.
Lucy-Jo is mum to daughter Sienna-Rae, 12, who she shares with ex Corrie co-star Alan Halsall and four-year-old son Carter with partner Lewis Devine.
Lucy-Jo and Alan split after nearly nine years of marriage; it was then revealed that she'd embarked on a relationship with Lewis shortly after.
Last month Alan looked delighted with life as he rocked up at Corrie star Jack P. Shepherd's wedding with his new girlfriend.
The actor, 42, who plays Tyrone Dobbs, made a big step in his new commitment with partner Ellie Dolan as they attended the David Platt star's nuptials hand-in-hand.
A source told us that the blossoming relationship was already 'serious' in May despite the pair rarely seen with one another.
They said: 'Alan is really happy. Ellie is a great girl and they have lots of common. And she gets on so well with Sienna, which is so important to Alan. Sienna is his world."
The couple reportedly met at the Marriott Worsley Park club, where Alan is a member and Ellie works.

Emmerdale's Joe Absolom wins huge jackpot with seconds to spare on Celebrity Catchphrase – did you get it before him?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EMMERDALE'S Joe Absolom bagged an incredible jackpot on Celebrity Catchphrase - but did you beat him to it? The soap star, 46, had just seconds left to answer his last crucial puzzle. 4 Emmerdale's Joe Absolom won big on Celeb Catchphrase - but it came down to the wire Credit: ITV 4 He was stumped on this tricky final puzzle - but did you solve it before Joe? Credit: ITV 4 Joe is currently playing Emmerdale baddie Ray Walters Credit: ITV Joe defeated Alex Beresford and Sarah-Jane Crawford to reach the final round. He made light work of the ITV show's pyramid - with 29 seconds remaining to answer the £50,000 Catchphrase. At this point, Joe hit a stumbling block as he tried to work out the last puzzle. It first showed various shops, with stop signs on display in the window. The key focus was "Sign World", which had a single stop sign and an arrow pointing to it. Joe initially guessed "Stop sign" and "Only a stop sign", as the clock ticked away. With only four seconds left, the actor correctly answered "One stop shop." It meant Joe scooped £50,000 for his charity - as well as £6,700 he won in earlier rounds. Host Stephen Mulhern said: "Do you know what, that is incredible. Wow, I have never seen it done like that." Joe then revealed he couldn't wait to share the good news with his charity. Ricky Wilson misses out on huge jackpot as he struggles through Celebrity Catchphrase final - would you have done better He joined the Emmerdale cast this year, playing shady new bad guy Ray Walters. Introduced with connections to Mackenzie (Lawrence Robb), it was revealed he would be involved with Dylan (Fred Kettle). Speaking at the time of his casting, Joe shared: "Well what an honour to join such a talented team at Emmerdale! "It's an iconic show and I'm grateful to be part of it."

Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: 'From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?' The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000. - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history.
