Belinda Owusu gets told she a lot looks slimmer in real life than on 'EastEnders'.
The 20-year-old actress - who plays Oxford University student Libby Fox in the BBC One soap - says people are always shocked when they meet her in real life because she looks a lot smaller off-screen.
She said: "I get people saying, 'You look a lot bigger on TV!', or 'You've lost a lot of weight, haven't you?' And I'll be like, 'No - I just look bigger on TV!' "
However, the star - who has worked on the show since 2006 - says she doesn't mind how she looks and is too lazy to exercise regularly.
She explained to New! magazine: "It's about being healthy for me. I know because of the industry I'm in, there's more pressure to be slim, but I can't really be bothered. I don't like working out and I drive everywhere."
Belinda also hates the boring outfits Libby wears.
She said: "All her clothes are bleurgh! The worst are these linen trousers that are too big for me. I worry they'll slip down!"
