BERNIE Taylor may be going through hell on Eastenders to get justice for her brother, Keanu – but actress Clair Norris is loving life.
The 26-year-old actress has been making sure she lives a far more glamorous real life away from the Square – and by the looks of her holiday pics she’s succeeding.

Last weekend, Clair and her partner of six years, Lewis Wood, flew to the magical European city of Milan for a mini-break, enjoying the sites, fresh pasta and spas.
Making the most of her time to unwind, Clair shared pictures from her break, beaming in a green floral dress as she soaked up the sun.
One photo saw her join the tourists for a picture outside the city’s stunning cathedral, posing with her sunglasses on her head.
While Bernie is famed for keeping her hair up in a messy bun on top of her heard, Clair kept her brown hair kept loose over her shoulders.
The pair later grabbed cocktails in a bar overlooking the stunning Square.
Another picture showed Clair in a bathrobe as she posed with a drink in the Spa of Wonders – a wellness retreat whose motto is “Wonder Makes Memories”.
The QC Termemilano is built within ancient Spanish walls and mixes ancient architecture with an art nouveau spin, with treatments starting at €74 per person.
Wading into the water, Clair seemed to be having a ball before heading out for the evening in the city.
Enjoying the culinary delights of the fashionable city, after some shopping, Clair and Lewis looked pleased as punch with their fresh meals.
Among their pictures, Clair shared a video of chefs hard at work making the fresh pasta, while Lewis looked chuffed with his massive pepperoni pizza.
Clair clearly seeks any opportunity she can to see the world when she’s not filming on the Walford lot.
In the last year alone, the star has shared pictures on her Instagram boasting trips to Croatia, Prague, Barcelona and Iceland.
On screen, her character’s life is far more bleak as she plays detective to get justice for Keanu’s murder last Christmas in the gripping storyline dubbed ‘The Six’.
But she got more than she bargained for when Linda Carter finally came clean and told her the truth, leaving her devastated.
