In the past, Claire has been nominated for Villain of the Year and Sexiest Female for her role of Kim Tate in Emmerdale. She also won the award for Best Exit for the same role.
In 2002 and 2003, Claire received the TV Quick Award for Best Actress for her role as Karen Betts.
When compared to her sex-siren roles, Claire explains that "pretty much all the roles I've ever played, or at least the ones that have made my name, have been hard-bitten man-eaters. I'm the polar opposite of the women I've portrayed and incredibly conventional when it comes to love, romance... and marriage. I'm really a very down-to-earth, country girl at heart."
