The mother-daughter-duo busted some moves to a song set to slow motion in their kitchen in an Instagram Story.
Lorraine, who shares Nancy with her partner Mark Perez, flashed a beaming smile while dancing away with the sprog.
The soap star has been putting her new physique on full display in recent times.
Just last month, she sported a slimming flower print crop top and trousers combo as she partied the night away at a special bingo event.
Underneath the tied top, she donned a skin-tight white vest which only emphasised her tiny waist.
For shoes, Lorraine opted for complimentary open-toe leather platform strapped heels for the occasion.
Alongside flaunting her physique, the star also opened up on a huge new milestone in her life.
She captioned the snap: "5 months sober & still had a good night dancing! #Sobriety."
The TV star also told how her changing figure was not down to popular weight loss jabs like Ozempic or Mounjaro.
Instead, Lorraine opted for a gastric sleeve operation.

One inquisitive fan on TikTok asked for Lorraine's secret, to which she simply answered back in the comments: "Gastric sleeve."
A gastric sleeve is a weight loss procedure that removes a significant portion of the stomach, creating a smaller, sleeve-shaped pouch.
The actress was written out of Eastenders in 2023 after seven years on the show in a huge shock to fans.
Her character's axing was as part of a shock cast shake-up and her final scenes were aired in December of that year.
She went onto reprise her fan-favourite role a number of times in 2024 before her last episode hit BBC screens in June.

Gail Porter wows with wig transformation 20 years after alopecia diagnosis

Gail Porter has been showered with compliments from fans after stepping out wearing a wig. The Scottish TV personality began losing her hair to alopecia – a condition that causes hair loss or baldness in some or all areas of the body – in 2005. Several years later, her lashes and brows began growing back, and she sported a short, cropped look. However, in 2010, the former model revealed that she had started losing her hair once more, and the following year, she unveiled a shaved head again. Gail, 54, has always refused to wear a wig or hairpieces to conceal her baldness, having been keen on raising awareness of alopecia. However, in recent years, she's started to experiment more, and last year, she unveiled a mid-length blonde wig to her followers. Then, last night, she rocked a dramatic new look, heading to the British LGBT Awards with long locks. The ceremony has been held annually since 2014 and is a huge moment in the LGBTQ+ community's calendar, with the likes of Jade, Billy Porter, and Ian 'H' Watkins receiving trophies this time. Ahead of walking the red carpet, Gail took to Instagram to debut her blonde tresses, which she wore in waves as they cascaded down past her waist. She tagged Amber Jean Rowan in the caption, thanking the wig maker – who has also made wigs for Strictly's Amy Dowden after her cancer treatment. Taking to the comments, her 81,000 followers were keen to heap praise on her, with some having to do a double-take to make sure it was really her. 'Stunning 😍😍 Gawjeeeeus 😍😍', commented @mcchalkiewhite. 'Wow Gail. Beautiful with it and Beautiful without it', wrote @christine_anne_garstin. 'Gail you look amazing 😍😍😍', complimented @tinabear1969. 'Wow had to look twice 👏 looks really good 👍', wrote @neilcornish13. Gail removed her wig for the event itself, posing proudly on the carpet alongside some of the UK's biggest LGBTQ+ talent and allies. The former children's television presenter got her first wig in 20 years in January 2024, which she debuted on social media. She wrote at the time: 'First wig ever!! Well, one that's coming home with me and the cat! Made with so much love and care ❤️Thank you so so much to everyone at @amberjeanshop Adore my new hair! X' Speaking previously about losing her hair, the ex-Celebrity Big Brother housemate explained to Metro that she was forced to sleep on benches when work dried up as a result of her refusing to wear a wig. Gail found that TV shows were only interested in booking her if she would talk about 'being bald', which also came while going through her divorce with her former husband and Toploader guitarist Dan Hipgrave. As her situation worsened in the mid-00s, Gail was unable to make ends meet as she became 'more and more depressed'. When appearing on the BBC Access All Podcast in August 2023, Gail also explained that work dried up very rapidly. 'It was so quick,' she said. 'I had long blonde hair, and then four weeks later I was completely bald. 'People didn't want to go near me for television or anything because I looked different.' More Trending Last year, she was also praised for taking on her first photoshoot in a wig, with Sue Schilling, the chief executive of Alopecia UK, saying it is key to give people options as there is neither a 'right' nor a 'wrong' way to have alopecia. Gail added to The Sun at the time: 'I don't think I'm a role model, but if me being bald or me wearing a wig gives someone the confidence to go and try it for themselves, I'm glad. 'I like the fact that women and men talk to me about hair loss.' Got a story?

Lizzo baffles fans with bizarre first pitch at Dodgers game after opening up about Ozempic use

Lizzo was on hand with an unusual first pitch before the Los Angeles Dodgers' game against the San Diego Padres on Thursday. After being invited to take part in the traditional pregame ceremony at Dodger Stadium, the 37-year-old singer left fans baffled with her strange approach to pitching. She first took her place on the mound as Dodgers star Mookie Betts waited in preparation to take the catch, only to run forward while pretending to throw the ball twice. Lizzo then turned around and ran back to the mound, before finally throwing a pitch into Betts which bounced before finding his glove. A number of fans were left confused by her two fake throws, with one writing on X: 'The longest, most pointless and stupidest first pitch ever'. Another commented: 'So stupid. Stop trying to make it about you'. While a third simply asked: 'What the f*** is this?' Others, however, saw the funny side of Lizzo's twist on pitching. 'Love it,' one fan commented while another said 'still better than 50 Cent', referencing the rapper's infamous first pitch at a 2014 New York Mets game, widely considered one of the worst of all time. Lizzo just threw out a very interesting first pitch at Dodger Stadium 🤣 — Dodgers Nation (@DodgersNation) June 20, 2025 This comes after she admitted to briefly using Ozempic to aid in her extreme weight loss transformation. Lizzo talked about her Ozempic use during Thursday's episode of Trisha Paytas's Just Trish podcast. The singer revealed she started to take the GLP-1 medication at the beginning of her weight loss journey in 2023, but soon came to the conclusion that it wouldn't help her in the long term. Lizzo said: 'I tried everything. Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full. But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same thing.' Many of her fans turned on her after she 'lied' for months and previously denied Ozempic allegations, claiming she achieved her much slimmer figure through 'weight lifting and calorie deficit'. She also added that she started getting results when she stopped being vegan after many years of not eating meat. Lizzo explained: 'What did it for me is, it was not being vegan. Because when I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats. I was eating a lot of bread. I was eating a lot of rice and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full. 'When I started actually eating whole foods and eating, like, beef and chicken and fish, I was actually full and not expanding my stomach by putting a lot of fake things in there that wasn't actually filling me up.' Criticism: Social media users reacted strongly to her Ozempic confession Supportive: However, other fans praised her for admitting it despite previously denying the rumors
