Actress and singer Claire Sweeney caused a sensation
when she arrived in Southport for a special TV series that sees her visit
her favourite seaside resorts.
The former Brookside star launched her ‘Sun, Sea ….and
Sweeney’ programme for GMTV from Southport where she performed her debut
single ‘When You Believe’ on Southport Pier outside Funland.
During the programme Claire said that she had fond childhood memories of the
resort and was impressed with the major changes that Southport had been able
to achieve including the new promenade, Ocean Plaza Leisure Complex and pier
restoration.
She also talked about walking along the town’s famous Lord Street with
shopping boulevards and pavement cafes as well as starting her career with
one of her first performances at the Southport Arts Centre.
In addition to Southport, Claire took viewers down memory lane when she also
visited Blackpool, Llandudno, Weymouth and Bournemouth during the series.
