Danielle Harold reunites with soap relative as he reveals character update 18 years on
Danielle Harold enjoyed a mini EastEnders reunion with Ross Kemp - and the Grant Mitchell actor soon shared his thoughts on what his character could be getting up now
Danielle Harold has reunited with an EastEnders relative – who shared what his character is up to now following his exit.
Actress, Danielle 31, shot to fame playing Lola Pearce on the BBC soap – making her debut in 2011. And it’s fair to say she became a firm-favourite with viewers.
However, in 2023, she said her goodbyes to Walford forever. As fans will remember, Lola was tragically killed off when the character sadly lost her battle with an inoperable brain tumour.
Since her exit, Danielle has kept herself busy. In 2023, she appeared in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here… where she came in 5th place. And on Sunday (April 14) the blonde beauty will be back on screens once more.
Danielle is one of the many celebs taking part in the game show Celebrity Bridge of Lies. Hosted by Ross Kemp, the show follows contestants’ attempt to cross a digital floor that shows correct and incorrect answers.
They must then try and make it across by stepping on only correct answers. If they land on an incorrect answer, they could end up going home empty-handed.
On the programme, Danielle reunited with EastEnders legend Ross who played Grant Mitchell. And the soap beauty brought up the fact their characters are related.
He asked her: “Danielle, you’ve had a massive storyline in EastEnders. Saying goodbye to Lola must have been tough?”
She replied: “Yeah, it was really difficult. A big family storyline. I was actually waiting for a visit from my Uncle Grant, but…”
Ross appeared on the soap from 1990 to 1999. He then returned in 2005 until 2006. Ross also made a one-off appearance in 2016 as part of the late Barbara Windsor’s exit storyline.
On Celebrity Bridge Of Lies, Ross went on to share what he thinks Grant would be getting up to now. He revealed: “Uncle Grant? I think he was on the beach in Portugal mixing cocktails, probably. Or drinking them!”
