Who is Claire Barratt?

Claire Barratt, 44, is an ex-police officer who now works as an entrepreneur in Hull.

She left Humberside Police after seven years to set up her own business Claireabella, making personalised bags.

Claire said: "I was reluctant because my kids were on it. I didn't have a clue what I was doing.

Is Claire Barratt famous on TikTok?

Claire joined TikTok in December 2019 after being spurred on by the marketing team at her brand Claireabella.

It didn't take long for Claire to become popular on the app and she now has over 1.1 million followers.

Many of her videos end up going viral, and it’s only partially due to how young she looks.

Some of her clips show her in mini skirts and crop tops, but Claire insists she's not trying to sexualise herself.

She explains: "I'm not trying to be a sex symbol, I'm all about empowering and celebrating women.

"I'm free spirited, I don't listen to the negative comments and I don't conform to people's expectations of how a mother should act or what I shouldn't wear.

"I'm very self-confident and I try to encourage other women to be the same.

Some of Claire's most popular videos include those of her saying she gets mistaken for her son's sister or going from "scruffy to glam" in seconds.

And while not all the responses to her videos have been positive, Claire states this is exactly why she chooses to dress the way she does.

In one video, she said: "I refuse to be put in a box. Why? Because I'm over 40, so I can't be sexy.

"Or is it because I'm a mum? Mums can't be sexy! I'll never be put to sleep at a certain age, ever!"
