EastEnders’ Lorraine Stanley and Clair Norris look worlds away from Walford in glam off-screen snap

LORRAINE Stanley and Clair Norris looked worlds away from Walford as the EastEnders stars posed together off-screen.

EastEnders fans will know Lorraine, 47, as gobby Karen Taylor while Clair, 25, plays her on-screen daughter Bernadette.

While they’re nothing like their soap characters in real life, Clair proved the duo are just as close when she posted the glam snap with a sweet message to celebrate Lorraine’s birthday.

She wrote: “Happy birthday to the kindest, funniest and most supportive person I’m lucky enough to work with.

“You have been my rock through it all. Love you!”

Clair also added a string of red heart emojis alongside the photo, which showed her wearing a plunging blue dress with sparkly detailing.

Meanwhile Lorraine looked incredible in the throwback as she posed in a full face of glam make-up – a far cry from stripped back Karen.

Earlier this month Karen was joined for birthday celebrations by co-stars including her on-screen sons Danny Walters, who plays Keanu, and former Keegan Baker actor Zack Morris.

Also in attendance was Shona McGarty, who plays Whitney Dean in the BBC1 soap.
