EastEnders star Clair Norris looks worlds away from character Bernie as she celebrates anniversary with boyfriend
EASTENDERS star Clair Norris looked nothing like her character Bernie as she enjoyed an anniversary dinner with her boyfriend, Lewis Wood.
The actress, 24, was worlds away from her character Bernie Taylor on the BBC soap, in a gorgeous floral dress and her long hair flowing past her shoulders.
The happy couple posed happily at the chic restaurant as they celebrated fours years together.
Clair shared the adorable snap to Instagram, paying tribute to her other half.
She wrote: “Chapter Four ~ Happy Anniversary @lewisswood ~ here’s to more belly laughs & adventures ”
Her fans loved the happy photo and congratulated them on the milestone.
“Happy anniversary both of you so much love x” commented one fan.

And a third added: “Clair. I love you on eastenders . You and your boyfriend, or fiance make a stunning . Couple.”
The star has played Bernie since 2017 but took time off last year to film her first Panorama.
The special was about the UK’s obesity problem and saw Clair break down in tears as she revealed she had been bullied over her weight, especially 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.”
She then sat down with her mother who said she used to brush off mean comments and thought it was normal to be called “chubby”.
Her mum recalled: “You didn’t even see it as bullying.
“It wasn’t until other people pointed it out, and they were like ‘but they’re calling her this’ and you were like, ‘yeah they call me chubby but that is just their nickname for me’.”
Clair began to cry and her mother reached over to her, adding as she also choked up: “You never thought that was an issue and you thought it was OK for people to call you names, and you just accepted it.”
Later, Clair spoke about her weight and eating habits.

She said: “What I’ve discovered is that mental health does play a big part and I don’t think I even realised, it wasn’t me just going home eating food, that wasn’t me just eating it was me getting out my stress and my anger.
“Eat my feelings, eat my feelings, they’ll go away.”
