Claire told her thousands of followers: "Thankfully nobody was hurt. Had no luck with my car... Three accidents and not had it a year! I wasn't even home for this one. Happened outside my house. Only a piece of railing through my car".
Earlier, Claire had posted on her Instagram story that it is her last day of working away from home, with her due to return on Friday. She said: "Last day on board, home to my boy tomorrow".
Claire rose to fame on Brookside in the 1990s. Wednesday marked 40 years since the soap's first episode. To commemorate the occasion, Claire shared a photo of the iconic Brookside Close.
Captioning the snap, she said: "40 years since the first episode aired. So proud to have been part of this ground-breaking soap."
