She also famously played Lindsey Corkhill on Channel 4’s Brookside and has starred in theatre shows including Chicago, Guys and Dolls and Legally Blonde.
But in March, Claire parted ways with her agent Melanie Blake after she publicly called for one of her Coronation Street co-stars to be axed from the ITV show.
Claire loyally stood by friend Samia Longchambon, who plays Maria in the soap, after Her representative took to social media to say she should be dropped from the show.
Back in January, when the show was going through a cash crisis and speculation was rife that cast members were up for the chop, Melanie asked her Twitter followers who they thought should be axed before adding that her top choice would be Samia’s character Maria Connor.
Samia, 42, who will celebrate 25 years playing Maria Connor in May, was left shocked and upset by the stark comment.
While her cast and crew mates were in disbelief that a top talent agent who looks after predominantly female soap stars would start a social media pile on.
Daily Mail then revealed that Claire split from Melanie following the tweet and the pair unfollowed each other on social media.
A source said: ‘Everyone was talking about what Melanie did to Samia – it was the talk of the green room.

‘There was a lot of shock and disbelief that someone’s agent would behave like that so publicly especially when the show was going through a tricky time.
‘Samia is a really popular member of the cast, and is genuinely one of the nicest actresses on the show. She did not deserve any of it.’
Claire told Corrie insiders that she dumped Melanie, however, Melanie told MailOnline that it was her decision to part company.
She said: ‘We made a decision to cut our entire Coronation cast list as we are downsizing the soaps list as I am going to be working in Australia.’
