Clare Plested
Vegas, Jesus and Me
Clare’s your classic Catholic Watford girl binge drinker. At 16 she lost her virginity (naughty), but three years later than the Virgin Mary and she was last in her class to lose it, so she’s no Mary Magdalene (excellent). Now they’re getting married, in Vegas, by a fake Catholic priest to please her mum. Complicated? Wait for her wedding speech (if she’s not too wasted).
