Remember 2point4 Children’s Jenny Porter? Actress Clare Woodgate looks VERY different these days (and she even has a new name)
CLARE Woodgate was best known for her role as Jenny Porter in BBC sitcom 2point4 Children.
The young actress featured as the original character of Jenny in the first and second series of the show - before her role was assumed by Clare Buckfield for the next six series of the hit show.
Clare was born in Colchester, Essex and broke into the acting industry at just 16-years-old when she landed the role of Jenny Porter in the family favourite comedy.
2point4 Children followed the lives of the Porter family, whose world was frequently turned upside down by a series of bad luck and strange occurrences.
The Porter family was made up of two children, Jenny and David, along with mum Rona and dad Ben - and the title is thought to refer to the then-average number of kids in a UK family.

The show ran for eight series from 1991 to 1999 and is now regularly repeated in the UK on Gold and Drama.
But after Clare left the show at the end of series two, she changed her name and reinvented herself as Georgina Cates - pretending to be from Liverpool.
She gained further roles in television under this moniker, appearing in Casualty and The Bill and low-budget films.
She also landed the role of Stella in the film An Awfully Big Adventure - after first being turned down when she auditioned as Clare Woodgate, she successfully re-auditioned under her new moniker.
The 42-year-old married American actor Skeet Ulrich, who starred as Billy in the Scream franchise, in 1997.
The couple became parents to twins Naiia and Jakob in 2001, however they divorced in 2005, citing irreconcilable differences.
Georgina also received critical acclaim for her role in 1998 film Clay Pigeons alongside Vince Vaughn.
She's also begun to show off her rebellious side with a number of tattoos - including having L'enfant Terrible (the unruly child) inked across her chest.
After a seven-year break from the acting industry, Georgina - who now lives in Los Angeles - returned to the independent film genre to co-star in 2007's Sinner, for which she won a Best Actress award at the Brooklyn Arts Council International Film & Video Festival.
She continues to work on indie movies and short films.
And, remember Debbie Dobson from Biker Grove? You won't believe what she looks like now.
