Later that year Claire became the new face of Marks & Spencer’s lingerie which probably did no harm when she was later nominated and named ‘Rear Of The Year’. She then accepted a contract to present ITV’s ‘Challenge Of A Lifetime’ programme where she invited members of the public to come face to face with their phobias by completing daredevil stunts.

This saw her doing some hair raisng feats which endeared her to the public even more.

Dancing was another talent that Miss Sweeney was now making herself known for.
