Jennie McAlpine has never felt pressure to lose weight.

The 'Coronation Street' star - who plays bubbly factor worker Fiz Brown in the ITV soap - has dropped three dress sizes in the past few months, but insists no one encouraged her to slim down.

The 25-year-old actress said: "I know there's pressure in this business, but I can honestly say I've never felt it myself.

eat well and walk to work.She told Britain's Daily Mirror:

"I'm not saying I let it wash over me because of course I'm aware of it, but I don't let it bother me. I just think there are far more important things going on in the world."

Jennie also refuses to spend hours discussing fad diets and exercise regimes with her super-svelte co-star, preferring to "eat well and walk to work".

She told Britain's Daily Mirror: "I don't go in for all the diet plans and worrying yourself silly over how much you weigh. Ice cream is bad, salad is good - it's not rocket science!

"If you eat more of the good stuff and take more exercise then you'll lose weight. But it's really not worth beating yourself up over it."
