Heat Magazine have described her as ‘truly beautiful’, Glamour Magazine say she’s ‘always perfectly dressed’ and the fit one out of Maroon 5 says ‘if all English girls are like her, we’re moving in’. So what else do you need to know about Liz McClarnon other than she’s in a league of her own?
As one third of Britain’s biggest girl band; Atomic Kitten; Liz has travelled the world on sell out tours, performed for the Queen at Buckingham Palace and has countless awards and number 1 singles and albums under her belt, sold 10 million records globally as well as bringing pop music back to the masses in 2001 when the band released “Whole Again” which spent 4 weeks at number 1 in the UK chart, 6 weeks at number 1 in Germany, and was number 1 in 17 other Countries. Since her early Atomic Kitten days, Liz has effortlessly made the leap from starlet to superstar, been schmoozed by Hollywood hotshots and partied with pop royalty.
Liz’s debut single as a solo artist entered the charts as highest new entry at number 5. The single, a cover of the Barbra Streisand classic “Woman in Love” was produced by Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees who also wrote the track back in 1979. Since then Liz has been busy in the studio writing great song after great song, most of which have been kept closely under wraps until the launch of her debut album which shall be released in 2010. Liz has written and recorded with the most sought after writers and producers in the world, including Elliott Kennedy and Tinderbox. ‘I was a bit scared when I first thought about going solo,’ she confides. ‘I thought I’d get lonely but it’s been amazing! I’ve still spent plenty of time with Tash and Jen and we still do the odd charity gig together so I don’t actually feel like I’m on my own and I’ve made loads of new friends!
And Liz’s talents don’t end at singing and song writing. In July 2008 Liz swapped her microphone for an apron, as she took part in the new BBC 1 prime time, series of Celebrity Masterchef. Liz put her culinary skills to the test and battled it against other celebrities and famous faces. Liz successfully overcame a lot of challenges on the show and her cooking skills went from strength to strength and she triumphed in being crowned Celebrity Masterchef winner. Since her win, Liz has been involved in various cookery shows and projects, to showcase her new found talent to the masses. This includes her own 4 week cookery slot on LK Today which showed Liz cooking several of her favourite dishes, including some of those she cooked on Masterchef. This was an absolutely fantastic show, and Liz shared some of her top cookery tips and recipes. Liz has also become a regular on the cooking show Market Kitchen, where she has been in the kitchen cooking and reviewing various cook books for the show. January 2009 saw Liz become the first celebrity to ever have their own pasta dish on the menu at Pizza Hut. Liz has created her own Tuscani dish which featured on their new menu with a percentage of proceeds from Liz’s dish being donated to the United Nations’ World Food Programme. This is one of several charities Liz supports, as she took part in the World Vision 24 Hour Famine in February 2009, and also has her own designed Race For Life t-shirt on sale through the Race For Life website, with all proceeds going to Cancer Research UK. The t-shirt has been flying off the shelves and totally surpassed expectations. This has become Cancer Research UK’s biggest selling T-shirt, raising over £500,000 for the charity.
At the end of October 2008, Liz debuted as a new presenter of the National Lottery, proving there really is no end to her talents! Liz presented the Wednesday night National Lottery live draw to an audience of 4 million, and had the first UK interview with Leona Lewis for her new single. This will no doubt be the first of many National Lottery shows that Liz presents, and put her in great stead for future presenting opportunities. Prior to this Liz had a spell of presenting when she took to the red carpet of the MTV Europe awards, interviewing guests as they arrived. Liz has also tried her hand at acting, appearing in an episode of Home and Away, and making her big screen debut alongside fellow scouse Ricky Tomlinson in the football film, Mike Bassett England Manager, and presented the children’s talent show Bump and Grind, to name but a few.
Liz’s fan base is ever growing, as “Liz McClarnon” becomes a household name, and a “celeb magazine” favourite. Liz has been named “best dressed” celebrity 6 times over the past 2 months in several different publications including Heat Magazine, Closer Magazine and Reveal Magazine. Stepping out in style on the red carpet at this years’ BAFTA Awards Liz wowed viewers and journalists including those from My Fashion Life who referred to Liz as having “the most beautiful dress” and “looking every inch the Hollywood filmstar rather than celebrity turned celebrity chef.”
Still concentrating on her music too, Liz is currently in the studio writing and recording with some phenomenal producers including Grammy Award winners Philip Larsen and Rob Davies, as well as the renowned Tinderbox who have written and recorded for the likes of Leona Lewis and Rihanna. Liz signed her new record deal in August 2009 with 3Beat Records who are responsible for many chart topping artists including Agnes and Cascada and plans to release her new single “Not In Love” in early 2010.
Liz certainly knows no ends, as she is currently in the middle of writing her first fiction novel, cookery book, and has just finished writing her first TV show.
Charismatic, strikingly beautiful yet always accessible, with a powerful voice, a hundred hits in the making, a wardrobe we’d all kill for and an army of fans around the world , Liz is well on her way to solo superstardom, and the best is certainly yet to come as 2009 is definitely going to be Liz McClarnon’s year to shine!!

CAN YOU PLEASE COMMENT ABOUT THIS SONG AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK...
THE WORLD IS LYING TO YOU
life it self full of struggle and wealth Everything that I was told was a lie, I don’t want to live or die, I just don’t want to survive, Don’t you ever wonder what’s on the other side? I keep falling its like someone from above is calling,
Tonight I can’t sleep, I’m seeing the dead digging our graves, The governments been hiding the truth with there dirty news, I’m playing my position, Like I was told, The system is lying, How many times do we have to die? To see paradise, If this aint war, Why are we paying the price? Oil is still on the rise, Farmer’s aint getting the right money for BLACK GOLD, Starbucks is selling it for three pound fifty, Some ones getting rich and its not you and me,
If I’m not dead, Why do I feel out of breath? I feel the demons getting closer to my bed, The world is lying to you, So live for to day, Forget about tomorrow, We all gonna get buried in a empty grave, Sometimes I wish I was blind, The things I see is making me lose my mind, God gives us everything but then he takes them back, Like losing your love one, Where’s the justice in that.
Everyday I read an empty book, With empty pages, I believe what I wanna believe, I won’t let the T.V and the radio control me, I’ve got my ears to the streets, I get my news from the wind and the trees, That brings me peace.
