Early life

Clive was born to an English father and a Mexican-American mother[3] and grew up in a village in Oxfordshire. She attended the American Academy of Dramatic Art in New York City, graduating in 2015.

That December, at age 23, Clive was diagnosed with a macroadenomas brain tumour.[1] She wrote about her experience in a sellout comedy stage show called Britney, which was named after her brain tumour,[1] which in turn was named after singer Britney Spears: “I needed it to be iconic, and there is nobody more iconic than Britney. If I was going to get a tumour, then she'd have to be a little bit fabulous, and so Britney was the one".[4]

The premise pilot for an eponymous television sitcom adaptation of Britney aired on BBC Three in November 2021,[5] though it was not picked up to series.[6]
