She's never looked better than she does now.

And Lisa Riley, 40, has already bought her Christmas outfit as she prepares to mark her first December 25 as a size 12.

Speaking to Closer magazine, she said: 'I've already bought a size 12 dress for Christmas. It's just the way that I'm going, the weight keeps dropping off. People ask: "Are you going to stop?" But it's not a diet, I've completely changed my life.

She may be thrilled with her smaller shape, but Lisa can't wait to have surgery to remove her excess skin. 

'The weight loss has meant I have a lot of sagging skin,' she explained. 'At the moment I can fold my stomach into my stockings and my least favourite body part is the roll under my bra strap. No amount of rowing is going to get rid of that.

'With the surgery, it's a case of the caterpillar becoming the butterfly. I'm going to be a completely different person.'

Lisa has wowed her fans in recent times by losing over ten stone in weight - slipping from a size 30 to a 12.

Talking on Loose Women back in September, Lisa explained how she achieved her astonishing slim down: 'I have smaller portions now. I don't believe in fad diets, even though I have tried them before. I have no food after 6.30pm.

'I only eat a carb if I need one and absolutely no bread or booze. I've been going to Zumba classes which is fun. I find the gym is boring.'

However, Lisa took a lie detector test live on air to prove she had shed the pounds through her own effort and diet - not surgery, after trolls kept calling her out online.

She told the show that she's been upset by claims she is a liar, explaining: ‘When I came on this show first time and the big weight loss was revealed… 93 per cent of people are supportive.'

'Basically, what’s happened is the other few percent are calling me a liar. One thing I’m not is a liar. What I’ve done is such a good achievement.'

Lisa, who has given up alcohol and bread and embarked on a strict fitness regime, went on to detail how she shed ten stone, confessing: 'Fad diets didn’t work remotely for me. Rome wasn’t built in a day. I’ve done this slowly. I’ve been patient.'

She answered four questions - Since January have she taken diet pills? Has she had liposuction? Has she had a gastric band? Has she had bariatric surgery?

She passed the test answering no for all four questions, exclaiming at the end: ‘Amazing. Such a sense of relief. Once and for all I draw a line under this. I haven’t lied and there is the proof.’
