EastEnders fans rush to congratulate Bernie star as she hits huge milestone with boyfriend
EastEnders Bernie Taylor star Clair Norris was inundated with supportive messages from her BBC co-stars after she announced exciting news with her boyfriend Lewis
EastEnders star Clair Norris was supported by her co-stars after sharing some exciting news.
The actress, 26, best known for playing Bernie Taylor on the BBC soap, announced she has moved into a new home with her boyfriend Lewis Wood. Claire has been in a relationship with Lewis for more than six years.
The couple took to Instagram on Sunday (March 3) to share the news with their friends and followers. In front of their new door, the duo held up customised keyrings which featured their names, house number and the date they moved in.
“And we’re in!!! Time to make this house a home,” she wrote in the caption. Clair’s BBC co-stars couldn’t wait to congratulate the couple for hitting the milestone as they raced to the comments.
Lorraine Stanley, who recently bowed out of the soap after seven years of playing Karen Taylor – Bernie’s mum – penned: “Congratulations that’s amazing!!! I’m so happy for you both, can’t wait to come over for a cuppa.”
Nish Panesar star Navin Chowdhry posted a champagne bottle emoji as well as two hearts. Jimmy Bye, best known for his role as Martin Fowler, added: “Congratulations” while Elaine Peacock star Harriet Thorpe wrote the same.
Bernie is currently the only Taylor left on Albert Square after her family’s sudden departure last year. After helping Keanu kidnap Albie and stealing £50,000 from Phil (Steve McFadden), Karen and the rest of Baker-Taylor clan had no choice but to flee.
With Keanu (Danny Walters) at fault for her family’s exit, Bernie revealed to Phil that her brother was also behind Albie’s kidnap. This led to Sharon (Letitia Dean) calling off her wedding to Keanu before dropping the bombshell that Albie was actually Phil’s biological son.
On Christmas Day, in a fit of rage, Keanu almost strangled Sharon to death before Linda (Kellie Bright) stepped in and stabbed him. Keanu died and The Six buried his body under the floor in the café.
Bernie and the rest of the Square were told that Keanu did a runner after attacking Nish. But last week, Nish cast doubt in Bernie’s mind when he claimed that Stacey (Lacey Turner) attacked him before pinning the blame on Keanu.
