Clair has played Bernie Taylor for the last eight years 

Bernie Taylor star Clair Norris looked worlds away from Walford as she struck a pose in a plunging red top during her tropical holiday.

The actress captioned the snap: “’Had worst Mondays’ hurts when you’re back home,” and added Trelawny Jamaica as her location.

She beamed at the camera while wearing a chic up do hairstyle and stylish dark sunglasses on the top of her head.

She posed with her boyfriend of six years, Lewis Wood, who was sporting a sky blue and yellow football shirt.

The soap star, who has played Bernie since 2017, appeared carefree and glowing in the sunshine – just days after news broke that she’s been written out of EastEnders.

Her character will be leaving the Square later this year in a dramatic storyline.

Fans were quick to flood her comments with support with many calling her a “beautiful” and begging bosses to rethink the axing.

The BBC soap has been going through a transition stage of late with outgoing boss Chris Clenshaw leaving and new producer Ben Wadey taking over.

A source said: “Every time a soap gets a new boss they want to make their own changes – it’s nothing personal.

“The writing has been on the wall for Bernie for some time so it wasn’t really a surprise to Clair.

“She was the last Taylor standing and it’s time to close the chapter on them and let Clair go on to do other things.”

However, The Sun revealed last week that while the Taylors will soon be gone, the Branning family is getting a boost.

Actor Jake Wood is returning to the show as Max Branning after a four year absence.

The BBC also accidentally leaked a major spoiler earlier this week that has shown the Queen Vic being put up for auction just weeks after it was rebuilt and reopened after the February explosion.

On her 16th birthday, the traumatised teen finally revealed the years of abuse to Bianca. Tony was swiftly sent to prison sentenced for 13 years.

EX-EastEnders star Max Bowden is also making a shock return two years after he was axed.

The actor, who played Ben Mitchell, will get a guest stint in the coming months, with a possible full-time role if all goes well.

Then-showrunner Chris Clenshaw gave Max the boot at the end of 2023 during a showdown over his party lifestyle.

But he has been given another chance by the BBC soap’s new boss Ben Wadey.

A source said: “Ben had a list of characters he wanted to bring back and Ben Mitchell was one. It’s taken a little while to sort out but Max will be back filming on Albert Square later this year.”
