THEY do say that variety is the spice of life, but if dictionaries came with pictures you could almost be certain to find an image of Claire Sweeney next to 'workaholic'.
Having worked in the 'biz' since her teens, the last two years have seen her starring as the predatory Roxie Hart in acclaimed musical Chicago in London's West End, emerging more than credibly intact from the goldfish bowl that was Celebrity Big Brother, co-hosting daytime TV show, Loose Women, becoming official forces sweetheart for British troops in the Gulf and joining the cast of BBC TV cop drama Merseybeat.
Not pausing for breath, Claire is ready to plunge into her next project, the first leg of the tour of the musical 'Fosse' which opens at the Liverpool Empire Theatre at the end of October.
Quote:
It must be said that her career has skyrocketed since her unpredictably flattering TV exposure on the intrusive reality TV show Celebrity Big Brother - succeeding where many a celeb ego was chewed up and spat out by the national press.
Quote:
"I wanted to move to London. But what has helped - luckily - is that I've been able to keep my flat in Liverpool and keep a place in London as well and I can go between the two now. And before Big Brother I might not have been able to do that so I feel really lucky, the opportunities I've had have been fantastic."
