Crystal of the Week: Claire

December 4 2013

Our feature on the Crystals is back after a short break. Up next is Claire...

Claire Eglington

Age: 23.

Live: Shirley.

Occupation: Work at Chessington World of Adventures.

My nickname is anything egg related. I've heard them all, eggs, eggers, eglers, mini egg and Tink (because she's basically my twin haha).

The perfect holiday would be going on a safari as I love animals or a theme park holiday such as Florida as I love all the rides.

If I was throwing a party I’d have rainbow cake and loads of cup cakes. For a party game, it’d be Articulate and funny games.

The animal I'd beat in an arm wrestle would be, erm a goat? Haha!

My cooking speciality... I'm a baker really. Rainbow cakes are my speciality!

I love being a Crystal because we get invited to lots of fun places like Eagle Heights and I get to watch Crystal Palace games for free. We do special events such as people’s birthdays – one was a Gangnam Style party, plus rugby games. It’s fun, a nice hobbie.

The longest to get ready is Izzy.

My hidden talent is I can touch my nose with my tongue.

My karaoke song... I do a mean Starships in the style of Miranda sings! Haha.

If I won the lottery... I think about this daily. I’d buy a zoo, a big house and have a room full of animals. In there I’d have a bearded dragon, a great dane, a parrot, a ferret, a a snake and a zebra.

The funniest thing that happened as a Crystal... When it was the cold weather, we put hand warmers down our tops keep warm. But some of the girls got burned and Nina’s fell out while the Sky cameras were there filming.
