• Claire’s favourite career moment to date is interviewing the late June Brown, AKA Walford’s Dot Cotton. Soap stars don’t get much more legendary than that!
• Claire’s favourite recent storyline in EastEnders was ‘The Six’ - from the flashforward right the way through to Keanu’s body being hidden under the floor in the café - it was brilliant.
• The live episode for the 25th anniversary is her favourite, especially when Stacey revealed she was the one who killed Archie Mitchell.
