Courtney Clarke in Paper Dolls

Courtney Clarke who plays Jade Hart in Paper Dolls was once a member of the kid's group Hi-5

Courtney Clarke’s role as Jade Hart in Paramount+’s Paper Dolls is a far cry from her previous gig as a member of the kid’s musical group Hi-5.

Yep, just a few short years ago the glamorous Courtney was busting out catchy tunes for little ones in Hi-5.

“The audition process was a very full on run. It was like five or six days and it was supposed to only be three,” she told My Child Magazine in 2017.

“Everyone at the beginning of the audition kind of dropped off from hundreds down to fifty, and fifty down to twenty, and then it would go back up to thirty. It was really confusing but they had a really hard time deciding who would be that five because they did just have a miraculous amount of talent in the audition process. I still don’t know how they chose it.”

Courtney was a part of the kid’s group from 2016 until 2018. While she was with Hi 5, the performers toured Asia and headed to various countries including Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Indonesia.

She left Hi 5 in 2018 and was replaced by her predecessor Tanika Anderson for the last stop of the Hi-5 Supers tour in December of the same year.
