biography
Atomic kitten
In 1998 - when Liz McClarnon was still at school - her music teacher arranged an audition with the singer of the British band OMD Andy McCluskey , who set himself the goal of starting a new pop girl group. Ultimately, McClarnon, along with Heidi Range - who was replaced a short time later by Natasha Hamilton - and Kerry Katona , were part of the original cast of the newly formed Atomic Kitten.
In 1999 they released their debut single Right Now . In 2001 Katona left the group due to her pregnancy and was replaced by Jenny Frost . Atomic Kitten sold more than 10 million albums and singles worldwide. The further success remained even after the separation from McCluskey in 2002. After the release of the third album, Hamilton, McClarnon and Frost decided to take a break in 2004. In 2005, 2006 and 2008 there were brief reunions for the publication of charity songs. At the beginning of 2012, plans for a reunion were announced, which were later rejected because of the differences between Frost and Katona. In the end, however, the reunion came about when Atomic Kitten took part in the documentary The Big Reunion , broadcast by British broadcaster ITV2 in early 2013 . The cast brought about a change, however; so Katona was there instead of Frost. On March 28, 2013, Hamilton announced that Frost would be welcome for a comeback anytime.
Solo career
McClarnon adopted in June 2005 - with Fran Cosgrave - on the reality dating show Celebrity Love Iceland from ITV , where she made it to the finals. Shortly thereafter, she released her first solo single, a cover version of the Barbra Streisand song Woman in Love . The song reached number five on the UK singles chart. In 2007 McClarnon took part with the song (Don't It Make You) Happy in the British preliminary decision for the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 , but failed there.
