EastEnders star Clair Norris worlds away from troubled Bernie Taylor as she unveils glowing makeover

EastEnders star Clair Norris has unveiled an exciting new change to her appearance.

The actress, who plays Bernie Taylor in the BBC One soap, has had blonde highlights in her long straight hair for a while now, but has decided it’s time for a change up now we’re into the colder seasons.

Over on Instagram, Clair revealed her new transformation to her followers. Her new hair is now a darker, chocolate brown – perfect for autumn!

The star received many kind comments on her post from followers and EastEnders co-stars.

Kitty Castledine, who plays Penny Branning, said: ‘Omggg LOVE IT’, while Denise Fox star Diane Parish said: ‘Ooooh! Love! 😍😍’.

Clair’s character Bernie fled to Germany back in September after Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) confessed the truth to her about her brother Keanu Taylor’s (Danny Walters) murder, and hasn’t been seen since.

The Six were left fearing that she would report them to the police, but as the weeks have passed, they were confronted by a new threat when Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) also manipulated Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) into revealing what happened.

After a terrifying night in The Vic on Halloween, during which he threatened to expose The Six’s killer secret, the dying villain later had a change of heart and ended up taking the rap for Keanu’s murder.

With Nish now behind bars for their crime, The Six had space to breathe again –but their relief is short-lived when Bernie arrives home.

Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) is relieved to see killer daughter Linda sober and focused on recovery from alcoholism this coming week, but her positivity is soon destroyed by Bernie’s return.
