Jackie Clune 

Jackie Clune has been an Ambassador for AtaLoss since December 2024.  Best known for her portrayal of the evil school secretary Mrs Lamb in the BBC award-winning comedy series Motherland, she is an actor and writer working in theatre, TV and film, and is Vice President of Equity, the union for creative industry workers. She started out as a Karen Carpenter comedy tribute act and has since worked across many different sectors of the industry, from West End musicals to International commercial touring, fringe, subsidised theatre and cabaret, as well as TV sitcom and drama.  She has also hosted her own radio show on BBC London and been a guest presenter on Radio 4’s Loose Ends.   

Living in East London with her husband and four teenagers and manager of a women’s rugby team, Jackie is the author of four books, including a memoir on her triplets ‘I’m Just a Teenage Punchbag’, which won a Woman & Home Magazine Book of the Year prize, and ‘Give a Little Love’.  Jackie has known much bereavement, with her father dying suddenly in 2010, her mother in 2018, and then her brother suddenly only two years later.  Since then, she has lost three close friends.
