But her real life alter ego, actress Clair Norris, has a very glitzy hobby that we just couldn’t see Bernie getting involved in.

The 20-year-old star has a passion for Ballroom and Latin dancing and regularly shares updates with her followers on Instagram.

She shared a video on the social media site just before Christmas of her and a pal performing a pretty good dance to The Jackson 5’s Rockin’ Robin.

She also regularly shares snaps of herself in her dancing outfits to her 15000 followers.

Scrubs up alright, our Bernie!

Clair, who joined the BBC One soap last year, has admitted that her filming commitments have got in the way of her dancing however.

She recently wrote: “I miss dance,” and was inundated with compliments from her fans about her hidden talent.

Clair has received lots of praise from fans for her portrayal of Bernadette, the only Taylor girl living in Walford at the moment.

In September last year her character suffered a miscarriage and Clair’s performance was truly heartbreaking.

This week has seen Bernie strike up a friendship with newly returned Tiffany Butcher and the pair have already got into trouble by burning Ted Murray’s shirt.

We suspect there will be a lot more trouble to come from this terrible twosome.

EastEnders continues Monday at 8pm on BBC One
