Claudia was born and raised in Birmingham, England, where — according to her interview with the Belfast Telegraph — she and her family lived on a barge (a flat-bottomed boat built mainly for the transport of goods on rivers and canals). And apparently, Claudia loved boat life so much that she decided to buy her own houseboat in Birmingham in 2018. According to You magazine, Claudia decided to renovate the houseboat with her partner, Joseph, so "they can glide up and down the canal network of their hometown."
