London, Sept 14 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Actress Pauline Quirke has admitted that being overweight greatly affected her confidence levels. She subsequently tried to avoid award shows and photographers as much as she could. The 52-year-old had the turning point in January.

Since the beginning of the year, Quirke has lost 7 stones and she was recently photographed at the TV Choice Awards on Tuesday with size 14 shape. The actress last month spoke to The Mail about her new size.

The Emmerdale star told the newspaper during the interview that, “I look at the fashion pages in magazines, too, which I’d never done before because I had no interest. Why would I? My size was so limiting to the amount of stuff I could buy… A few months ago, I went to the Soap Awards with the Emmerdale cast. They’re not my idea of a fun evening, but I was nominated for Best Newcomer.”

Quirke has her confidence back and she revealed that for the first time after so many months, she has been buying clothes which are not designed for bigger women.

At the awards, Quirke was hoping to pick the Best Soap Actress for her role in Emmerdale as Hazel Rhodes. That honor was picked by EastEnders star Jessie Wallace.
