EVERYONE loves Claire Sweeney -- if you're a girl, you'd like her as your best mate and if you're a lad, you'd love to chat her up.
Her bubbly personality and cheery humour endeared her to the nation after her stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
But there's more to Claire than being an actress, as she'll prove on Sunday when she indulges in her true love and passion -- singing.
The Brookside actress, who also starred in the West End production of Chicago, has signed a recording deal with Telstar and will release a single from her forthcoming album on July 7.
The single, When You Believe, will be the first taken from her album, Claire, out on July 15.
The song was written especially for Claire by Wendy Page, who wrote Martine McCutcheon's number one hit My Perfect Moment.
Other tracks on the forthcoming album include classics The Look of Love, This Girl's in Love With You and My Heart Will Go On.
