EastEnders fans staggered as Sharon returns with glam new look – as viewers say she looks years younger
EASTENDERS fans were bowled over as Sharon Watts returned to Albert Square looking incredibly glam.
Several viewers reckoned she'd come back looking years younger - and appeared more blonde, tanned and relaxed than ever.
She breezed back to Albert Square on Wednesday night after treating herself to a trip to the glam squad.
Sharon said with a smile: "I've been pampered, polished and plucked."
One EastEnders fan branded the character a "skinny queen" while another wrote: "Sharon looks so beautiful today, she looks 19."
Another tweeted: "Anyone else going to mention how Sharon is looking at the moment!"

A third said: "Can we all take a minute to appreciate how good Sharon Watts looks on #EastEnders?! Wow…"
One other viewer posted: "Honestly thought Margot Robbie had popped up in the Square. But no. It's only our pampered , polished and plucked Sharon."
Another referred to the actress who plays her writing: "Leticia dean is always a true icon and looks absolutely flawless as Sharon in tonight’s #EastEnders."
The character is one of EastEnders last surviving original characters, having appeared in the first episode in 1985.
Despite long stretches away from our screens Sharon - the adopted daughter of Den and Angie Watts - is still going strong.
Letitia, who is 54, joined as a teenager after producers sought to cast a "bouncy, attractive, oddly vulnerable young woman".
She lied about her roots to get the part as bosses only wanted real EastEnd actors - saying she was from Hackney rather than Potters Bar in Hertfordshire.
