In a newly released video on social media, the former Walford resident can be seen hard at work in the gym.
The 24-year-old star has been training with Instagram personal trainer Charlotte Armitage who shared a snap of the star on her accounts story.
Clair performed squats as she clasped her dumbbells as Charlotte gave her words of encouragement.
She later reposted the story on her own Instagram account as the video was captioned with a purple heart emoji.
The star has played Bernie since 2017 but took time off last year to film her first Panorama special.
The programme focussed on the UK’s obesity problem and saw Clair break down in tears as she revealed she had been bullied over her weight, especially by other children at school.
Clair said: “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. My mum will remember more.”
She then sat down with her mother who said she used to brush off mean comments and thought it was normal to be called “chubby”.
Her mum recalled: “You didn’t even see it as bullying.
“It wasn’t until other people pointed it out, and they were like ‘but they’re calling her this’ and you were like, ‘yeah they call me chubby but that is just their nickname for me’.”
Later, Clair opened up about her weight and her own eating habits.
She said: “What I’ve discovered is that mental health does play a big part and I don’t think I even realised, it wasn’t me just going home eating food, that wasn’t me just eating it was me getting out my stress and my anger.
“Eat my feelings, eat my feelings, they’ll go away.”
