Claire Skinner appears in Channel 5 thriller Coma this week, but she is probably most famous for playing world-weary Sue Brockman in Outnumbered – the show in which she met her real life partner.
From 2007 to 2016, the actress played the onscreen wife of comedian and actor Hugh Dennis – a relationship which subsequently spilled out into the real world.
So what has she said about finding love on set, what is she famous for, and is she still coupled up with her Outnumbered co-star Hugh Dennis? Here’s everything you need to know…
What is Claire Skinner famous for?
TV viewers will be very familiar with actress Claire Skinner. She’s been on our TV screens ever since 1988 when she made her first appearance as Laura in South of the Border.
She went on to star as Lucinda in Chef!, Susan Harvey in The Peter Principle, and Claire in Life Begins. You’ll also recognise her from a multitude of popular TV series including The Pale Horse, Next of Kin, Power Monkeys and Critical.
In films, she’s portrayed Natalie in Life is Sweet, Magda in Bridget Jones’ Diary, and Beth Killian in Sleepy Hollow.
But, of course, Claire Skinner is probably best known for playing Sue Brockman in the BBC series Outnumbered. She played the role of the mum-of-three on and off from 2007 to 2016.
