EastEnders’ Clair Norris looks a world away from Bernadette Taylor at NTAs

What a glamour puss!

The stars were out in force last night, despite the snow falling on the red carpet, for the 2019 National Television Awards.

The annual ceremony is always a chance for stars of the small screen to glam up – especially those who play dowdy characters on the nation’s favourite soaps.

Clair Norris, who plays Bernadette Taylor in EastEnders, certainly doesn’t get to look glamorous very often on screen, and she more than made up for it at the NTAs.

In a picture posted to on-screen mum, Lorraine Stanley’s (Karen Taylor) Instagram account, Clair looked lovely in a burgundy dress alongside her suited and booted EastEnders family.

Fans were certainly shocked at the transformation, with many commenting how amazing she looked.

“Clair Norris looks beautiful,” said one.

Another added: “Love her dress!”

Her on-screen family – Lorraine, Danny Walters (Keanu), Zack Morris (Keegan) and Roger Griffiths (Mitch) all scrubbed up pretty well too.

The Taylor family burst onto Albert Square in 2017 and didn’t win themselves many fans with their loud and brash ways.

But in recent months they’ve fast cemented themselves as one of the most popular clans on the Square.

And Bernadette is no small part of that. Her coming out scenes with her mum over Christmas saw viewers heaping praise on the actress and the soap.

Her lovelorn state over Tiffany Butcher has seen her have her heart broken several times over the last few weeks.

Tiffany is heavily involved with gang leader Evie, and has been dealing drugs for her, much to Bernie’s disgust.

Bernadette almost found herself arrested when Evie set her up.

Thankfully, Clair’s life seems a lot less complicated than Bernie’s!
