Claire Sutton

Following a three-year training course in dance and drama, Claire Sutton was propelled into the heady, hectic world of showbusiness. She's enjoyed a successful and long-lasting career as a dancer, model and presenter, and has a wide range of commercials and theatre stints under her belt. One of the bubbliest members of the crew, Claire joined QVC in September 1997 - and she's enjoyed several momentous occasions during her time here. In 1999, she married Daniel, and between 2001 and 2004 they celebrated the arrival of three new family members - first Thomas, then Joseph, and most recently, Madelaine. Claire's outlook on life is that you have to enjoy each moment and keep smiling!

Favourite Food?

Smoked salmon

Favourite Film?

Dirty Dancing

Favourite Book?

The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton. I loved it as a child, and my Mum bought me a copy for my birthday a few years ago.

Do you have any children?

I have three. Thomas, Joseph and Madelaine.

What do you enjoy doing?

I have no spare time. But if I did, I'd do a cookery course - it's something I need more than something I want! I'd also love to have time for a sign language course, and to read more.

What's your idea of a perfect weekend?

Not doing any housework! It would have to be going up to Yorkshire with my family. Just the five of us, with no pressures and no agenda.

What can't you live without?

Spot cover-up!

Do you believe in love at first sight?

I think it's more lust, to be honest, but I'd have to say yes.

What's the scariest thing you've ever done?

I was in that Halifax advert where there was a bridge made up of people. I had to somersault to the top and catch the globe - it was terrifying.

What's been your silliest moment at QVC?

It has to be the inflatable reindeer. Dexter was playing with the remote control, and it went straight between my legs. That made it on to It'll be Alright on the Night!
