Dancing On Ice alumni Claire was chatting to ITV hosts Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid about her experience in the first-ever Celebrity Big Brother - which returns to the channel tonight.
Susanna addressed the show line-up revealed by The Sun and yet kept things vague, referring to Kate Middleton's uncle Gary and other stars by saying "if" they go into the house.
She said: "If Kate Middleton's uncle Gary goes in he will blow royal protocol out of the water."
Yet Claire appeared to mistakenly confirm her Corrie co-star Colson Smith, 25, who plays copper Craig Tinker's, involvement - as previously flagged by The Sun.

"They know they are on telly, they know how it works."
Her assertive tone appeared to confirm he would be entering the colourful house before she added: "I will be watching."

"It was over 15 years of hard work for overnight success."
We previously revealed how Colson will face a huge struggle in the iconic house due to his strict training regime and diet.
It came after the fan-favourite told her he eats the same meal every day - this being a tasty feast of chicken and rice.
Colson joined the cast of Coronation Street in 2011 when he was just 13 years old.
He lost a jaw-dropping ten stone through lifestyle changes and a rigorous gym routine during the Covid lockdowns.
Meanwhile, the full line-up of celebrities set to enter the famous pad on Monday has been revealed.
Alongside Colson, Strictly Come Dancing's Nikita Kuzmin, Love Island's Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and This Morning's Fern Britton are among those expected to join tonight's show.
