During a Q+A with fans on Instagram, one asked: “What have you been up to during isolation?”

Clair replied: “So I feel like a lot of people probably would answer this by saying that they’re learning a new language or you know, currently writing a book or something.

“And in all honesty, I’ve had this conversation today. I feel a bit useless. I feel a bit useless, feel a bit like I’m not really sure what to do.”

Clair shot to fame on Eastenders back in 2017, landing the role as lovable Bernadette.
