Biography

Clements was born in Sidcup, London. Before joining EastEnders he was studying for his A-levels (which he finished in 2005, aged 18) and working part time in the Waitrose supermarket in Bromley South. He attended Coopers Technology College in Chislehurst. Clements is a Charlton Athletic supporter.[1] His most preferred American actor is Tom Hanks.

Career

In addition to being in EastEnders he has appeared in a variety of theatre and film roles and in The Bill. He appeared on documentary F*** Off, I'm Ginger on 29 April 2007. He is a member of the band Brooks Lives where he plays the lead and rhythm guitar, and has been since he was in Year 9 when he got his first Squire Stratocaster.

Clements quit EastEnders in 2009 commenting that it was "time to move on and take on some new roles". Although the character died during the EastEnders live 25th anniversary episode on 19th February 2010, Clements is credited at the end of the episode on 22 February 2010. The police wanted to question Bradley regarding the death of Archie Mitchell and was attempting to escape when he was spotted by them. The chase led to the rooftop of the Queen Victoria public house and he died after falling to his death. A newspaper later revealed that Clements left the soap because he disliked the attention he got from being in such a high-profile television series, although during an appearance on Loose Women February 2011 he declared this to be totally untrue and said he simply wanted to move on.[2] Clements admitted that he was worried that he would struggle to find work after such a high-profile role "I don't know what I'm going to do, it's scary thinking about life after EastEnders, it takes up so much of your life. I guess it's auditions, auditions, auditions for me. I just hope I get work".[3]

In 2005 he landed a one episode role in UK police drama The Bill playing Adrian Bickman, a character with Autism.

Since 2010 Clements has provided the voice-over for Orange mobile phone adverts.

Clements is currently playing the part of David Filde in a touring production of the Charles Dickens novel The Haunting. Of the role he said "I play a young book-dealer who has been sent to a manor house in the middle of the country to catalogue the books of the late Lord Gray, who was the father of Paul Nicholas' character. Then strange noises start happening and books begin to fly off shelves. From there, it's a quest to find out what is going on in the house".[3]
