EASTENDERS actress Clair Norris sobbed as she presented her first Panorama special tonight about the UK's obesity problem. Clair, who plays Bernadette Taylor in the BBC soap, broke down in tears as she revealed she had been bullied over her weight.
Clair struggled during a conversation about her childhood and being called names at school. She returned to her primary school in Thamesmead, and reflected on how the other kids treated her.
Clair told the cameras: "This is probably where the name-calling would have happened I don’t say it’s bullying that’s my own personal thing. "I don't remember specific names, I don't remember it clearly, but I suppose if it happens every day it just kinda blurs into one.
