EastEnders star Clair Norris is worlds away from BBC soap in glam photos

Soap actress Clair Norris has shown off her glam side in pictures from a night out with pals in London.

The 27-year-old London actress looked a million miles away from her on-screen character Bernadette "Bernie" Taylor in EastEnders. Bernadette can usually be seen sporting scraped back hair, no make up and loungewear as she handles her family's troubles in the BBC soap.

On a night out with the girls, Clair looked relaxed and glam as she sported poker straight hair and glowing make up.

Sipping on colourful cocktails and enjoying time with her girlfriends, Clair teamed a simple black blouse and trousers with gold earrings for her night out.

This isn't the first time Clair has looked very different to her on-screen character, as she regularly glams up for nights out with boyfriend of four years Lewis Wood.

On another night out at Mamma Mia! The Party Clair was seen posing with her cocktails in a fitted all black ensemble with her long blonde hair styled straight.

In another snap taken from the Inside Soap Awards, Clair looked red carpet ready as she wore a fitted black dress and heels paired with a quirky lipstick handbag. She finished off her glam look with red lipstick and natural makeup to compliment her blue eyes.

Clair has returned to EastEnders after taking time away last year to film her first Panorama.

In a BBC special focusing on obesity in the UK, viewers were moved as they watched Clair break down in tears as she remembered she had been bullied over her weight by other children at school.

Clair said: "This is probably where the name-calling would have happened I don’t say it’s bullying that’s my own personal thing.

"I don't remember specific names, I don't remember it clearly, but I suppose if it happens every day it just kinda blurs into one. My mum will remember more."

In one clip featuring a heart to heart with her mum, Clair remembered brushing off comments about her weight and thinking it was normal to be called "chubby".

Her mum recalled: "You didn't even see it as bullying."
