Pauline Quirke – 132 lbs

Pauline Quirke’s role (Sharon Theodopolopodous) in Birds of a Feather was quite a mouthful, but fans can agree that she gave it her best. With a career spanning five decades, the 60-year-old continues to work and has recently made appearances on Emmerdale and Broadchurch.

There was a point in Quirke’s life when she hit 280 pounds, making her feel embarrassed of herself. It was then (in 2011) that she achieved a significant milestone, losing 112 pounds altogether. Even though her body mass has always been a stress point of her life, we hope she’s feeling better and confident now.
