She is now a soloist and is known mainly for her single

Trundle of Bristol City McClarnon also remains good friends
with Atomic Kitten members, Natasha Hamilton and Jenny

Even though McClarnon loved to sing as a child, she never
imagined that it would become her career. She wanted to
study law after secondary school, but her music teacher was
impressed by her singing abilities and arranged her to take
part in an audition by Andy McCluskey, who wanted to set up
a girl band. In 1997 McClarnon became one of the original
members of Atomic Kitten and she co-wrote many of the songs
during her time in the girl group. She is the only original
member of Atomic Kitten due to the other two leaving; Heidi
Range was replaced by Natasha Hamilton by 1998, and Kerry
Katona was replaced by Jenny Frost in 2001.
McClarnon became a member of the girl-group Atomic Kitten
when it started. Atomic Kitten are an English girl group
from Liverpool composed of McClarnon, Natasha "Tash"
Hamilton, and Jenny Frost, who replaced original member
Kerry Katona in January 2001. Atomic Kitten has sold over 8
million albums and singles around the world. Many of their
singles and albums entered the Top 40 charts worldwide such
as Right Now, Whole Again, Eternal Flame, The Tide Is High
and Ladies Night.
In 2005, she appeared in the ITV reality TV show, Celebrity
Love Island, and performed some modelling assignments. She
supports Everton FC and has modelled the clubs kit in the
past. McClarnon is an Ambassador for charity Youth Music.
On March 17, 2007 McClarnon competed for the chance of
