EASTENDERS star Clair Norris has revealed she’s landed herself a BBC documentary about her obesity struggle.
The actress, who has played the student in the BBC soap since 2017, took to Instagram to share the news.
Over the past year Clair has currently been involved in a big storyline, which has involved her being a surrogate mother for Stuart and Rainie Highway.
In October the soap star decided to take a break from the show – so her alter-ego left Walford to stay with her older brother Keanu Taylor.
Earlier this week Bernie returned to the Square and shocked fans when she went into labour.
Now it has all become clear what the TV star was doing while she was away from our screens.

Taking to Instagram, Clair told her 113k followers: “COMING SOON!!!
“Over the last 4 months I have been working with BBC Panorama, documenting and reporting on a topic that relates to me and I’m sure a lot of you will have your own opinions.
“This has been a chance to show ME! No character and no acting. I have been on a journey, meeting new people, going back to my childhood and sharing my own personal experiences which most of the time I have kept to myself.
“I can’t wait for everyone to see this project but it’s important for me to say…please always be kind.
“BBC Panorama – Obesity: Who Cares if I’m Bigger?”
Many rushed to the comments section to congratulate the star.
One fan wrote: “
I look forward to it.”
Another said: “this is amazing, and so are you. Don’t let anyone tell you anything different, everyone has a story to tell and this is yours. 
.”
A third chimed in: “Ur so incredible 
can’t wait to see it xxx.”
In July last year, Bernadette became fixated on losing weight because she thought it would give her a better chance of becoming pregnant for the Highways.
She started taking diet pills to shed the pounds and many scenes highlighted Bernie’s body confidence issues as well.
The soap star revealed that it was her idea to incorporate them into the storyline.
Clair told Digital Spy last year: “With the diet pills and the weight loss, I actually went forward with Kate [Oates] and suggested it.
“Luckily it kind of just slipped in nicely with the surrogacy storyline.
“It was great that we could pay out two stories and it kind of linked together.”
Since shooting to fame in 2017, the actress has had her fair share of negative comments about her appearance.
However, Clair made it clear that she doesn’t let the trolls get to her.
Clair said on Instagram: “Don’t normally react, but I have seen some really nasty comments on pictures from soap awards regarding my size…
