Elizabeth "Liz" McClarnon (born 10 April 1981, Liverpool) is an English pop singer, dancer and member of the band Atomic Kitten. She is now also a celebrity cook and television presenter.

Following Atomic Kitten, Liz McClarnon was signed to All Around the World Records. She released her first solo single, a cover of Barbra Streisand's 1980 hit "Woman in Love", on 13 February 2006. The track was produced by Graham Stack along with Robin Gibb (of the Bee Gees), who also originally co-wrote the song and whom McLarnon accompanied on his 2005 tour.

A video was released to promote the song featuring Liz McClarnon in a Manhattan apartment, but it was actually filmed in McClarnon's home town of Liverpool. It was decided to release the single as a double A-side with a cover of Jackie Wilson's "I Get the Sweetest Feeling". The single peaked at number 5 in the UK Singles Chart and, after more than six months on release, it peaked at number 16 in the Spanish charts on 22 October 2006. Also prior to her solo release, McLarnon appeared in the video for "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" with the FHM Hot 100, which charted at #10 in the UK.

Since her first release, Liz McClarnon has gone onto release one more single called "Don't It Make You Happy". The song was recorded in her bid to be selected for the UK's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest and McLarnon performed the track on the BBC's pre-Eurovision TV show Making Your Mind Up on 17 March 2007. However, she was unsuccessful and the single failed to chart.

Liz McClarnon also recorded a single entitled "Lately", with friend Jaime Jay for the Global One Music Project. The same song has been recorded by different artists all around the world in different languages, and in addition to English, McLarnon also recorded French and Spanish versions. The single was due to be released 18 May 2009, and although McLarnon and Jay had been promoting the single on a number of radio and TV shows, the release was postponed indefinitely.

Since then, Liz McClarnon has continued recording her debut album. She parted ways with her old management company in April 2008, and is now managed by her ex-marketing manager, Scott Richardson at Belta CM. Her album has been cited for release sometime in 2009.[citation needed] McLarnon recently told DigitalSpy that she's been influenced by The Saturdays for her album, and that it will sound like Atomic Kitten as she wanted to stick with a pop sound.

On 3 August 2009, Liz McClarnon signed to 3 Beat Records, a subsidiary of All Around the World (through Universal Music). Her first single on the new label, "Not In Love", is due to be released in November, and is a track she has written herself, influenced by Kylie Minogue's electro and club tunes. McLarnon performed the track at the Midlands Festival in 2009.
