EastEnders’ Elaine Lordan looks fit and healthy on a run two years after being spotted downing wine in the street
EASTENDERS’ Elaine Lordan looked fit and healthy as she went for a run two years after being pictured downing a bottle of wine in the street.
The former soap star, 53, was pictured jogging beside her husband Peter Manuel in North London.
Actress Elaine wore sports leggings and a long-sleeved top as she worked out listening to music.
Her other half looked to be struggling to keep up as she bounced across the tarmac.
It is a big turn around for Elaine, who was pictured in 2018 looking worse for wear after knocking back booze in the middle of the day.
She was also seen downing wine in public in a matter of seconds back in 2014.
The star’s life has been plagued by sorrow. She lost son James in 2005, days
after his first birthday.
He suffered from breathing difficulties caused by a condition called
diaphragmatic hernia — and died three days after Elaine married his dad,
ex-BBC technician Peter Manuel, 51.
Nine months earlier her mum Bernadette committed suicide aged 62.
Elaine fell pregnant again in 2007 but suffered a miscarriage. A year later her father Garrett passed away aged 72.
Elaine, convicted of drink driving in 2003, played Kat Slater’s sister Lynne
for four years — but booze-related incidents led to her sacking in June
2004.
During her time on the soap she was seen falling out of pubs and clubs.
She appeared on I’m A Celebrity in 2005 — but had to be airlifted out after
twice fainting on the first day.
