Clara Mayer, an 18 year old mechanical engineering aprentice from Kent"I grew up around men and I need to learn how to be a woman"Baby of the group Clara is a self confessed geezer bird whose life is dominated by men. She lives at home with her dad and her job as a Mechanical Engineering Apprentice means that she’s one of the lads, on site at work as well.Nominated by her sister, Clara shyly admits that she would actually love to see herself as a lady and see what she could be like outside of her very masculine world.Having never had a proper female role model, the teachers at Eggleston could find a willing protégé in Clara but she may not realise how much work is involved in becoming a real life Eliza Doolittle.
