Danielle, who played Lola Pearce in the show, is set to be one of the favourites in this year’s series, which will air on ITV1 and ITVX this November.
Millions were glued to EastEnders earlier this year to watch the devastating exit of fan-favourite Lola, who passed away from a brain tumour. Speaking to the press about the hard-hitting stortyline, Danielle said "When you work so closely with people that are suffering from brain tumours, family that have been affected by brain tumours [...] You just feel such a connection."

The storyline won Danielle a National Television Award this week, picking up the award for Best Serial Drama Performance. Accepting the award from Michelle Collins who plays Cindy Beale, she said "I literally, I really didn't prepare anything to say, this is the biggest biggest biggest shock."
