Office star Lucy Davis, shows off incredible weight loss

Lucy Davis

Lucy Davis, who plays Lucy on The Office, revealed her astonishing weight loss while doing a home workout.

The actress, who rose to fame in the smash sitcom as receptionist Dawn, has struggled with her weight in the past.

On Monday, the 49-year-old posted an Instagram shot of herself lifting a hefty dumbbell with her personal trainer brother Jake giving her advice.

She said, “5lb single arm deadlifts. I can’t get up from my chair. Send help #weightlifting #strengthtraining #womenlifting @jakebodyupgrade.”

Lucy went to Los Angeles in 2004 when the cult sitcom The Office was nominated for two Golden Globes and won both.

At the time star, who had battled with bulimia, while admitting shedding three stone helped her to win more acting roles, she explained, “I wish I could be one of those people who is indifferent about their weight, but since I’ve lost weight I’ve had three roles – so that has to tell you something.

“I struggle because I love food and sometimes I can’t stop eating. If I’m slimmer I feel better about myself, but I don’t lose weight for anybody else or for a magazine.”

The star is born in Solihull and the daughter of comedian Jasper Carrott, she has been open about about suffering with bulimia.

While promoting Wonder Woman in 2017, Lucy told, “In my 30s, I would have hated to look like this.

“I probably wouldn’t have gone out much. I’d diet for a week and then eat all the food I hadn’t consumed in the previous seven days in a single day.”

She added, “Now, I think I’m just normal. But my head didn’t think that then. This period of binge and purge was at its worst when my marriage came to an end.

“Even today, I’ll wonder sometimes whether I might try and shift a few pounds, and then I’ll think: ‘Ooh no, I’d love some cheese.’

“I came to realize that all eating disorders aren’t essentially about what you look like.

“They’re about something much more fundamental. Like any addiction, I suppose. It’s not that you have a drink problem, for example; it’s that you have a problem, which is why you drink. For me, a cycle of throwing up and starving was my solution.”

Lucy has also worked in Netflix sitcom The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina as one of the lead’s aunts Hilda Spellman.

She also played Etta Candy character in the 2017 smash hit Wonder Woman movie, recently been filming US comedy series Amy from Amarillo.
