Posing up a storm in Instagram in the ultra short garment, Charlie looked sensational as she showed off her pins in the multicoloured frock.

The dress was black but had an illustration in the bottom corner of a lady’s face.

In the caption of the stunning snap, Charlie penned: “Bought this dress over 22 years ago, before my kid was born, and I STILL love it.

“It actually makes me feel very happy.

“Funny how a piece of clothing can do that.

“My face doesn’t look happy. But I am actually very happy.”

Fans were quick to gush over the snap, with many keen to comment on her “very slim” appearance.

“U look very slim,” said one.

“Love it! Bonus it still fits & you look amazing!! Xx,” penned a second.

“It’s lovely and how much weight have you lost wow,” swooned a third.

While a sixth added: “You look gorgeous! I love that dress!”

This comes shortly after Charlie opened up about being unemployed.

EastEnders facts and figures

THE beloved British soap has been captivating audiences for decades.

Taking to social media, she wrote: “Life is good.

“As someone who is generally validated by work…Turns out being at home, chilling with my dog, taking long walks, reforming, reading…

“…and actually getting to hang out with my friends doing everything and nothing makes me really f***ing happy.”

Charlie left the soap in December 2022 and since then, she has been seen attending gigs and spending time with her family.

The beloved actress portrayed the role of Janine Butcher on and off from 1999 until 2022.

Charlie is mum to 20-year-old daughter Kiki who she shares with Ibiza nightclub owner Tony Truman.

She and Tony split just two years after Kiki was born but they are on very good terms.

Kiki is following in her mother’s footsteps in the hopes of becoming an actress.

Reports say that Kiki resides in New York and studies at NYU Tisch School of the Arts.
