She is best known and loved for playing brash, ponytail-loving teen, Bernadette Taylor on EastEnders.
Which makes Clair Norris’ transformation all the more astonishing, with fans rushing to compliment her “stunning” new Instagram picture – even telling the actress she “should be a model.”
Clair, 21, left the photo without a caption, letting her gorgeous face do the talking.
She was bombarded with comments, with one follower writing: “Wow you are a stunnnnnerrrrr.”
A second wrote: “Beautiful picture babe 😍😍 x.” While a third gaped: “What a beautiful picture of this beautiful woman 👩 she’s so stunning she should be a model.”
A fourth added: “Wow you look sooo amazing 😍🔥.”
Many others singled out her striking blue eyes, commenting: “Such lovely eyes man!! So blue 💙💙💙.” Another said: “Those eyes…….stunning 🤩.” While a third gushed: “You look beaut & your eyebrows 👌🏼❤️.”
Clair joined the BBC soap in 2017, along with her on-screen family Lorraine Stanley’s (Karen Taylor), Danny Walters (Keanu), Zack Morris (Keegan) and Roger Griffiths (Mitch).
The Taylor family initially didn’t win many fans among diehard Albert Square viewers, thanks to their loud and brash ways. But viewers praised Bernadette’s moving coming out scenes with her mum over Christmas.

Clair recently blew fans away, sharing shots of herself in a lacy red dress at the National Television Awards.
But comments on her appearance hasn’t always been so complimentary. Last year, the actress blasted trolls who had mocked her size, writing on Twitter: “Don’t normally react, but I have seen some really nasty comments on pictures from soap awards regarding my size…
“I could get upset but when I put it into perspective I just laugh.”
She added: “I love my job and I get to do something that I am so passionate about EVERYDAY and with the support from family and friends I am living my best life!!!!”
