Former EastEnders star Elaine Lordan has prompted fresh concern for her welfare after she was seen openly drinking on a public street during an appearance in London.



The actress, who became a household name thanks to her role as fiery Albert Square resident Lynne Hobbs, looked completely unrecognisable while making her way towards a local shop.

Notably gaunt and appearing unsteady on her feet, the 51-year old threw her head back while drinking from the small glass bottle as she paused next to a set of railings.

Poor woman. She lost her whole family within like 18 months. Her baby died, her mum, her dad.

Me personally, I can't imagine hiding in a bush taking photos of someone who presumably has an alcohol use disorder and thinking it makes you a journalist

It's a real shame, she was a good actress at times.

I think I remember reading that she struggled to conceive and suffered a number of miscarriages and then gave birth to a boy premature and he died of a hernia (?) or some other condition just before his first birthday. Then her mum committed suicide not long after.

oh god, that's horrific, I don't know how any parent could get over losing a child (and clearly she hasn't ) I echo MB here though, imagine your job is hiding in the bushes and taking pictures of a clearly broken woman

I saw these earlier and they made me so sad for her, she has had such a tough time. I hope somebody close to her steps in and manages to get her some help.

This is so, so sad. Poor woman I hope she gets help.

You don't look like that over night, clearly she has not been in a good place for some time.

It's hard and sad to see people slowly kill themselves.

She's had a drink problem for at least 15 years. That's why they sacked her from EastEnders in 2003.

I met her

Let's hope she gets help, but for some they only listen to those making the most noise, drink or drugs.
